On January 21st, Cub Scouts and their families from Pack 856 chartered by the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in New Melle, gathered for their annual Pinewood Derby race.
The race allows scouts to work with their parents to build a car and race down an inclined track. Help with setup and decorating was provided by the IHM Scout Troop 856. Trophies were awarded to the top three fastest cars and then the top car from specific age categories. Many siblings participated in a separate race as well.
