Pinewood Derby Day at the Library!
This fun-filled, free event will be held on Saturday, September 26.
Public pinewood derby races will begin at 10:00 AM and continue until noon in the library's Riverside Room. School-aged children, grades K-12, are encouraged to register to participate in the public races.
No derby car? No problem! The Library will provide pre-shaped pinewood derby car kits to registered participants.
To register for the public races, please register via email (programs@bossardlibrary.org) or phone (740.446.7323 x 229 or 237) by 8:00 PM on Monday, September 21. Registration limited to the first 75 participants. Please include the following information:
- Name of participant
- Grade
- Phone Number (please double-check that you enter this correctly, as we may contact you)
- Name of Parent/Guardian
Those who register will be notified when they will be able to pick up their derby car kits from the library.
Participants are also welcome to provide their own derby car. All cars will be weighed to verify they are not over the maximum weight of 5 ounces. Prizes will be awarded to the winners in various categories.
The official 2026 Scouts' Pinewood Derby will follow the public races and will begin at approximately 1:00 PM. Scouts participating in the official races must register with their local troop leader.
If a local scout wishes to also participate in the Library's public races, he or she should register with the Library for the public Derby.
Everyone is welcome to attend and observe both the public and official 2026 Scouts' Pinewood Derby races.
Light refreshments will be provided.
