Pinewood Derby
Workshop

Saturdays 9am - 5pm

Sundays 1pm - 5pm

We can help with your

design and we will HELP

YOU cut your car out.

Please bring your

Grand Prix Kit, car

ideas, weights, and a


Smile.



We will only be open

on the following days:

January 11th, 12th, 18th,

19th, 26th Instructions for polishing the wheels and


axles will be available , but you will need

to supply your own fine grit sandpaper. We

recommend 600 - 1200 grit automotive

sandpaper.

On January 5th from 1pm till 5pm we are going to hold a work shop for adults only. We will

be discussing design, construction, speed secretes, balance, going straight, or building a turn

into the car, and how we paint our cars. This will be a discussion presentation only. We

will not be working on cars as we already have three weekends planned for

that. This might be a good idea for first timers to find out some of the

answers before they know what the questions are.

Notes from Downtown Lexington:

PARTICIPANT PARKING

 Parking for participant personal vehicles will be reserved in the Lexington Herald-Leader front parking lot. The best way to access this lot will be from Main Street to Indiana Avenue. Do not try to access the lot via Midland as Midland Avenue will be closed to vehicles that are not in the parade. Parade participants may also park on East Short Street, East Second Street, and Corral Street.

 Parking for horse trailers will be reserved on Eastern Ave. between Short Street and Corral Street. Horses may rest in the park at the corner of Short and Eastern (across from Thoroughbred Park) until they move to Midland Ave. All horse entries must provide clean-up.

PARTICIPANT CHECK-IN & LINE-UP

Upon arriving for the parade, the primary group contact must check in with the DLC registration coordinator.

ONLY the primary group contact will be accepted for official check-in.

The primary group contact will receive the group’s line-up number and a Parade Marshal will then direct the group to their place in the line-up along Midland Avenue.

LINE-UP AND PROCESSION INFORMATION

The staging area for the Parade will be on Midland Avenue between Main Street and Winchester Road. All parade vehicles should enter Midland Avenue from Winchester Road in order to be headed in the right direction.

Vehicles not in the parade, other than band buses, will not be allowed on Midland Avenue to drop people off. ONLY

PARADE UNITS will be permitted on Midland Avenue. Entries should remain in the staging location until directed to move by a Parade Marshal.

When moving in the parade, please maintain a steady rate of speed. The parade officially begins at the intersection of Main Street and Midland Avenue and continues West on Main Street to Mill Street. The parade will disperse at Mill Street.

The review stand will be located on Main Street in front of the Fifth Third Bank Pavilion. Dance, baton, gymnastics, cheer and pom squad entries may perform a quick routine (no more than 30 seconds) in front of

the review stand. ABSOLUTELY NO STUNTS ARE ALLOWED. (No jumps, flips, somersaults or assisted lifts). Any group violating this rule will be banned from future parades.

EXITING THE PARADE ROUTE

At the conclusion of the parade (Main St. and Mill) pedestrians and any people riding on a float may exit their formation; pedestrians need to move to the sidewalk in order to clear the streets.

All vehicles or float entries should immediately exit the parade so the parade does not come to a stop behind your float. PLEASE PLAN IN ADVANCE WHICH ROUTE YOU WILL FOLLOW.

Vehicles and floats must choose one of the following routes to exit Downtown:

 To Return to Midland Ave: Turn left on Mill St, and left on Vine Street

To go South: Turn left on Mill St

To go North: Turn right on Mill St

To go West: Turn left on Mill Street. Cross over Vine Street. At the top of the hill turn right on High
