Once again it is time for the Uniformed FireFighters Association Local 273 to host their 10th Annual New Rochelle Soap Box Derby.
Children from all over Westchester will race gravity powered cars down Quaker Ridge Road for a chance to compete in the World Championship Race in Akron Ohio.
Two of our winners will be sent to Akron Ohio representing New Rochelle where they will race for scholarships, prizes and bragging rights as a world champion if they win. So far we have sent
18 children to Akron Ohio where they will have stories and memories to last a lifetime. 500-600 children from countries such as Germany, Guam and Japan to name a few will be competing also.
This is a great event and we would love to see everyone come out to see what the races are all about. There is no charge to watch a full day of races. There will be plenty of excitement and food at our concession stand if you get hungry.
Our local race will be held next Sunday, June 10, from 9 a.m. till about 4 p.m. We hope to see everyone there! If you have any questions or need any info please don’t hesitate to
