BATAVIA – The Downtown Batavia Business Improvement District (BID) invites the community to join the
festivities planned for the 3rd annual BID Boxcar Derby Saturday August 17th.
The Derby will once again be held on Ellicott Avenue in Batavia, with 24 racers competing to win the Suozzi Memorial Cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BID Director Shannon Maute says this year\u2019s races will be fast paced and fun.
\u201cWe\u2019re ready to celebrate all of our racers as they demonstrate their talents and sportsmanship,\u201d Maute said. \u201cThis is going to be a great day. Seeing the amazing boxcar designs, the excitement on kids\u2019 faces at our build day, and the families taking part all show why this event is so special.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The races will start at 10 a.m. and will feature 2 racers competing at a time from the peak of Ellicott Avenue. In addition to hosting the cheering crowd, Centennial Park will host free face painting and games, with pizza, ice cream, coffee and hot chocolate available from vendors. WBTA will also be hosting a live broadcast from the race.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BID Boxcar Derby is made possible by sponsorship by Alex\u2019s Place, Batavia Downs, the Police Benevolent Association, Lizzie\u2019s Ice Cream, James Steinbrenner Investigation, My Cut Barber Shop, Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union, GEICO, Batavia Balloons, Cedar Street Rentals, WBTA, and the Genesee Gateway Local Development Corporation. Additional support comes from BID businesses and building owners, Mark Scuderi of the Greater Rochester Soap Box Derby, the City of Batavia, the David M. McCarthy Memorial Ice Arena, Adam Miller Toy & Bicycle, and a team of volunteers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It truly takes a community to bring our great race together,\u201d Maute said. \u201cWith the generous support of our sponsors, partners and volunteers, the BID Boxcar Derby will make lasting memories for our families and racers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
