CONCORD — The Concord Awana Clubs were excited to hold their annual Awana Grand Prix, Sunday, March 12, at the Evangelical Free Church in Concord.

Twenty-six boys and girls, grades 3-6, participated in the car race.

Trophy awards were as follows: Design

First Place, Vincent Lipp; Second Place – Emily Fuoss; Third Place – Drake Jairam Speed

First Place, Forrest Kvols; Second Place – Easton Gould; Third Place – JJ Dangberg Participants drew their initial car design on a plain block of wood in early February. Cars were cut out and clubbers finished them off with paint and other detailing in March. Volunteers attached the wheels and also made sure that each car weighed 5 oz.

The Grand Prix began at 2 p.m. with a welcome from Awana Ministry Director, Bill Dickey, followed by a brief message from Pastor Todd Thelen.

Approximately 110 children, parents, grandparents, visitors and Awana volunteers were in attendance. Refreshments were served.
