Fannin County Family Connections Presents:
The Blue Ridge Soap Box Derby
A little history:
• The Blue Ridge Soap Box Derby (SBD) was created in 2018 and held its inaugural race in April 2019
• It was created to give our local community, especially our youth, an exciting activity that they
can do as a family.
• It teaches the next generation all the aspects of the "S.T.E.A.M." program, Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.
• Thus far, the SBD has given back over $14,000 to our Fannin County Schools while also
paying out over $1,000 every year in prize money.
• Last year we had 70 drivers and over 50 cars. It is open to anyone 7 and above, even adults.
• Admission is always free to watch and affordable food, snacks, and beverages are available.

New for 2024:
• Fannin County Family Connection is assisting in the event management.
• Net proceeds will benefit The Children’s Fund at Fannin County School System.
