Pinewood Derby
The Pinewood Derby Race is finally here. It will take place on Friday, January 25, at the GRDC Multipurpose Room. Scouts can begin checking in their cars at 5:30PM. Judging for the design categories will begin at 6:20PM. And racing will begin at 6:30!
There will be pizza and water for sale (thank you Giuliane Belt, Michelle Haley, and Billie Pierce!). There will also be a photo booth to take photos of the scouts and their creations. The scouts have been hard at work building their cars and it should be a fun night!
