We had a neighborhood soapbox derby two weeks ago. There were about 25 cars all built from a standard kit, but then customized every which way. Boats, whales, buses, sharks, and of course, race cars. This was the brainchild of the MacKennas who are a couple of big kids themselves. They closed off the street in front of their house, which also happens to sit on top of a long hill. Over 200 people turned out for the event that started at 2pm and ended after 8pm when the street lights came on! Jean and I brought our cameras and put together a slideshow. However it was such an amazing gathering that a local news station really should have covered it. Next year. Anyhow, check out our slideshow if you have a few minutes: soapbox derby. Many thanks to the MacKennas!
