Every year, Cub Scout Pack 220 in Daingerfield host their annual Pinewood Derby races. This year’s running introduced a new addition that will make it easier in the future, having purchased a new track replace their old one. Prior to this year, the cub scouts had borrowed a track from a neighboring troop, because the one owned by Pack/Troop 220 was old and had to be held together with duct tape. After hosting fundraisers and raising close to $900, the pack was close to their goal at their Dec. Pack meeting. Following donations from the Troop and two private donations, Cub master Randy Terry was able to order the new track before Christmas. On Saturday, Jan. 9, the pack gathered with their pine wood race cars at the West Elementary Gym to put the new track through its first set of races. 15 boys and their families brought cars in the “Hot Wheels” theme to race down the newly purchased track.
