Terry Zabel, Austin

I would like to thank Holiday Dodge and the Austin Noon Kiwanas Club for their outstanding support of Scouting by hosting the Southern Trails District Pinewood Derby Saturday.

Many Scouts from Mower, Freeborn and Faribault counties participated in this annual race. Boys in grades 1-5 built pinewood derby cars and raced them. There was also an open class where fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters could make a car and race it. It was a fun time for the boys and their families. Activities like these could not be accomplished without the support of great businesses like Holiday Dodge and great service clubs like the Austin Noon Kiwanas Club. Boys in grades 1-12 can participate in Scouting. If you know of a boy interested in joining, please contact Paula Nuessmeier at paula@twinvalleybsa.org.
