June 24, 2017 marked the 10th year of the SUPER KIDS SOAP BOX DERBY in Sharpsville, PA. The weather was great, the street was newly paved, and the kids were full of smiles. The anniversary race was kicked off by a huge parade. The Super Racers led the over 100 units by being escorted individually by 45 Jeeps. The ZemZem Shriners entertained the parade route with 10 different mobile lodge riders. There were monster trucks, clowns, Sharpsville school groups, elected officials, business floats, and the crowd favorite…The Pittsburgh Pirate Parrott! DALKO Resources, DRI Worldwide, LMR, and Thelma’s Sports Nook all had cars in the race. This is one race that has no losers. Every participant earns medals, trophies, and lots of hugs from the crowd. Everyone is looking forward to next year.
