The Soap Box Derby goes hand in hand with the 4th of July in Conshohocken. Yesterday, the borough had great weather for the annual running of the Soap Box Derby. The Donovan and Gale families will be traveling to Akron Ohio to compete in the nationwide Soap Box Derby championship. We want to wish them the best of luck.
Enjoy a few of the photos we took yesterday while enjoying ourselves on Fayette Street.
One more thing…… if you have children who are close to racing age, consider having them in the race next year or the year after that. We would love to see the race have more local families involved as well as more support from the residents. This is one of the coolest events/traditions our community has and we would hate to see it go away in the future. The race needs kids who want to race.
Thanks for checking us out. We hope you had a great 4th of July.
