Following the movie, we will have a Pinewood Derby track set up under the Colonial Theatre marquee. Kids (and dads too) will be able to race some cars and talk with local Cub Scout Pack leaders and parents about how to get involved in Cub Scouts, which is one of the premier family programs for 1st-5th grade boys that teaches character, citizenship and physical fitness through fun, family activities…like the Pinewood Derby!

Also…please feel free to stop by the “Down and Derby” Cub Scout First Friday display the day before, on Friday, August 6th on Bridge Street. The Cub Scouts will be directly in front of the Colonial Theatre with games, prizes and a Pinewood Derby track and cars. Come race some cars with the Cub Scouts and join the fun!

Down and Derby is a fun, family comedy about a children’s Pinewood Derby race that turns a group of dads into an awkward bunch of competitors. This comedy pokes fun at the desperate behavior of parents who compete with one another through their children, a social dynamic seen in everyday activities ranging from little league to beauty pageants. Hilarity builds as the dads teeter on the edge of insanity and resort to cover-ups and sabotage in an effort to win the race, while their kids plot revenge on their dads and plan to never be underestimated again. In the end, the farce reaches comical and outrageous levels with a surprise twist! Starring German (Ally McBeal), Lauren Holly (Dumb & Dumber) and Pat Morita (The Karate Kid).
