Fretz said they’ve picked up five
new sponsorships since the Sandy
Soap Box Derby, with another 20 to 30
parents expressing interest.
There is "no doubt" in his mind
there’ll be a second Derby.
He said if an acre or two of proper
ty were donated or available for
lease, the local Soap Box Derby
organization is ready to build a track.
Heavy equipment and surveying ser
vices are already lined up. he said.
About four rallies a year could be
held, which would draw people to
Sandy, he pointed out. In addition,
"oilcan" races for adults could be
held, as well as wheelchair and
skateboard races.
“ It would certainly be a benefit to
the community to have an establish
ed track," Fretz said.
Added M arilyn M artin, “ It's such a
whoiesome-type activity I think it
says that you (the community) like
kids I ’m really convinced of that.”
