Ed Bednarczyk, a good friend, has helped us with our race, and in doing so
has become a great advocate for the Soap Box Derby. And now, he has helped organize the first ever Soap
Box Derby in Camano Island, Washington!! (just outside of Seattle, WA) We have helped him and his race
sponsor with start up info and are very excited for their first race! Their race is also June 18th,
so we will be setting up a phone call from our race to theirs that day, and having both on the loud
speaker. We are very proud of our Sister City.
