The Palisades District 2008 Pinewood Derby was this past Saturday, the 19th. Two of our Pack winners were there representing Pack 73. According to David Clardy, Asst. Den Leader for Webelos Den 6, “H. Clardy placed 5th out of 92 cars and thus will proudly represent Pack 73 at the Council Finals. Nick B., from Den 10 also did well. Attached is a picture of H. Clardy with trophy and an action shot of his car (white car, in front).”
