Country Roads Baptist Church hosted the Kids Zone of the 2017 Steel on Wheels Car, Bike and Tractor Show in Lenox Iowa on August 12th. We provided pre-cut pinewood derby cars for each kid that signed up. The kids decorated their cars using Sharpies and then the children get to vote for Best of Show for their designs. Aat 1:30 PM, we raced the cars using the Boy Scouts’ track. Trophies were awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for speed, and Best of Show and two Honorable Mentions for design. What a great way to hang out, love on kids and sow the gospel in their hearts as we talk about winning the greatest prize of all – faith in Jesus. This year we had 59 kids design and race cars!
