Soap Box Derby returns Saturday morning

Don't forget: Saturday brings the annual Rotary soap box derby to Cape Girardeau.

From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., children age 7 to 17 will race their cars down the hill on North Sprigg Street near Blanchard Elementary School. They compete for a spot at the All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio.

Children ages 7 to 13 will compete in the stock race, and children ages 9 to 17 will compete in the super-stock division.

This event is a fundraiser for the Cape Girardeau Rotary Club.

The day promises to be fun for the children as well as spectators. The forecast is for sunny, warm weather Saturday, so come cheer on the kids for a good cause.
