This past Saturday's Soap Box Derby Championship was a success! We had a great time watching the races and admiring the cars. Roving Leaders "Hot Rod" car ended up taking the gold trophy, and of course we had to celebrate with some sparkling cider. Check out these pictures from the event to re-experience some of the fun!
