Boy Scout winners were Ian Moreno, first place; and Brice Vitosh, second place and Design Award.
The Father/Business first place winner and Design award went to Jason Kunkel. Second place winners were Faye and Karolyn Hiykel.
“We had a great day for the derby and a great turnout with plenty of fun,” said Nate Vitosh, Boy Scout leader.
Vitosh wanted to give a big thank you to the derby sponsors: Ivan Moreno, Jason Kunkel, Farm Bureau Financial Services, Fay and Karolyn Hiykel, Little Longhorns Daycare and Mayor Dwight Coleman.
