EBS Derby Day
at Misericordia University
On June 16, 2012 Edwards Business Systems and Konica Minolta are once again hosting “Derby Day”. "Derby Day” consists of individuals and area businesses participating in a Home Run Derby contest, Fast Pitch Competition and an official BSA pinewood derby race.
The event will take place at Misericordia University and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council will be building the longest pinewood derby track (540’) to beat a previous record. Winners from each of the Districts Championship will race off on this track for the Council Championship. After that race has been completed, the track will be open to anyone who wants to race their pinewood derby car down the track for a donation to the summer camping programs in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council Boy Scouts of America.
