SUMMARY:Tireside Chat - The Soap Box Derby Story
DESCRIPTION:Inspiring new generations of champions since 1934\, the International Soap Box Derby\, based in Akron\, OH\, is the official sanctioning body of Soap Box Derby TM racing and host of the annual Soap Box Derby World Championships. In conjunction with the opening of a new exhibition\, Downhill Thrill: Soap Box Derby World Champions\, we invite you to join us for a Tireside Chat offering personal insight into a beloved global tradition. On Saturday\, November 14\, 2026\, at 2:00 pm\, we are excited to welcome Dennis VanFossen\, Jr.\, President & CEO of International Soap Box Derby\, who also happens to be the 2007 Super Stock Rally World Champion. Expect a lively discussion of history\, education\, entertainment\, stories\, and the passion that encompasses the “Greatest Amateur Racing Event in the World®.”\n\n\nIn addition\, we will air on our big screen in the Savoy Theatre\, the PBS Western Reserve Special entitled “More Than a Race” at 1:00 pm prior to the Tireside Chat starting at 2:00 pm. Here is a brief description for “More Than a Race:” For 88 years\, the Soap Box Derby has been about so much more than crossing the finish line. It’s about the kids who dream big. The families who make the journey. The lessons learned through STEM education\, competition\, sportsmanship\, and perseverance. And the champions who come to Akron\, OH\, from around the world chasing ‘The Moment’ they’ll never forget. We’re proud to announce “More Than A Race\,” an original 56-minute documentary that takes you behind the scenes of the 88th FirstEnergy All-American Soap Box Derby and tells the story of this incredible tradition through the racers who live it every day. You’ll meet the champs who come from all corners of the world. Hear their stories. Experience the emotion. And discover why\, after nearly nine decades\, the Soap Box Derby continues to Inspire the Next Generation of Champions.”\n\nDon’t miss this special showing of “More Than a Race” in the Savoy Theatre. \n\n\nTickets:\nMembers – Complimentary\nGeneral Public – Included with museum admission
