Our annual Blue and Gold Banquet and Pinewood Derby is coming up tomorrow! We will be at Rosemont Baptist Church Saturday, March 3rd at 2:00 where we will eat first, then race our cars. We need each family to contribute a soup or chili, sandwiches or dessert.
You can weigh in your cars at 6:00 at the Scout house tonight, Friday, or tomorrow before the race.
See you there!
