Dear Joey,
Just a heads-up to all your loyal readers that the Fish Box Derby is coming up soon. In fact the Registration and Safety Inspection is August 28th, at C. B. Fisk on Kondelin Road from 9 to 12. The race itself roars down Rogers Street in front of Gorton’s on September 18, with the heats starting at High Noon. This is the eighteenth year of the modern version of the race and it’s open to all kids from 8 to 14. As ever, there is no entry fee, and the kids have a chance to win great prizes like bikes, whale watch tickets, YMCA memberships, and pizza parties. There are special prizes for coolest car and best pit crew. Also each year the committee awards two $1,000 scholarships to former racers who have reached college age. This is one of the great family and community building events of the Cape Ann year and it’s just plain fun. Businesses and individuals who wish to support the race can have their names emblazoned on the hay bales that line the course. Lots more information on participating in or supporting the race is available at www.fishboxderby.org
