Senator Michael Venditto,
Assembyman Joseph Saladino, Legislator James Kennedy and Councilman Joseph Pinto recently visited Massapequa Cub Pack 590’s Annual Pinewood Derby.
The Pinewood Derby, which took place at Lockhart Elementary School, is one of the highlights of the scouting year. The Scouts, with the help of their parents, design and build racecars that started out as nothing more than a small block of pinewood.
“It’s a great opportunity for the boys to express their creativity and to spend time with their parents as they work on their cars,” said Pack 590 Cubmaster Bill Leisen. “I’d also like to thank all our elected officials who came down to the derby, it really meant a lot to the Pack to have their support.”
Judging from the cheers, smiles, and applause, a good time was had by all.
