Demolition Derby Car Rides onto Library Lawn
 Stop by the library Thursday, August 11 to see a demolition derby car on the library lawn. We are sponsoring a derby car for this year's Chelsea Community Fair, driven by Kim Potocki, winner of the 2006 and 2008 Feature Demo Derby! Kids will meet on the library lawn at 2pm on Thursday, August 18 to help paint the car. To the left are photos of the car before Kim started working on it. Come see what it looks like now and check back next week to see what it will look like after we paint it! Kids ages 5+ are encouraged to help paint the car. No registration required. Be sure to wear old clothes! The car will also make an appearance in the Chelsea Fair Parade on Saturday, August 27 at 1pm.
