A grateful crowd enjoyed the Coaster Cars on the green grass and under some wonderful shade. Thanks to the crew who are making this event grow by leaps and bounds every year. Also, appreciation to the Lions Club who provided lots of cold drinks and candy.


Although the Assembly of God Church sponsored the Coaster Cars, it was a part of the derby weekend. A group of volunteers continue to make this event bigger and better every year. All pop and candy left over from the Lions Club cook shack was donated to the event.
