2009 Pinewood Derby!

This year's Pinwood Derby was the largest participation we've seen in the last 6 years or more. Thank you to ALL the Scouts and parents who participated in this year's fine event.
Special thanks to the ever energetic, super-specatacular announcer and organizer, Steve Mileski, and our overly organized consessions manager, Charlene, for their extra efforts in preparing for this event. (Please comment on this post if you are interested in organizing or assisting next year)
