Family fun and speedy soap box races have Crystal Ridge Dr closed down, from Downey Rd to North Railway St. until 4 P.M.

Kids from 8 Years of age to 14 are competing for awesome prizes in the Rotary Club's 28th annual Soap Box Derby.

They've had to find sponsors, build their own soap box cart and drive it through the course.

Prizes are given to the winner in ever heat, with bigger prize packs for the most enthusiastic, best paint job, creativity, best costume, and even best crash recovery.

The Soap Box Cup will go to the kid with the fastest time from all of the heats.

Races continue until 3 P.M. today!
