Are you ready? With the new year comes Pinewood Derby time and Dremel and Lowe’s area teaming up once again to bring it to your home town. Starting January 7, Lowe’s will be hosting a series of in-store clinics at their home improvement warehouses nationwide. If you’ve ever wanted to participate in, or learn about Pinewood Derby this is the time. This winter, Dremel and Lowe’s are sponsoring the clinics on four Saturdays January 7 & 21 and February 4 & 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This will be at every single Lowe’s location in the country.
Dremel and Lowe’s Pinewood Derby Days
At locations, demonstrators will teach potential Derby racers how to use the right tools and come up with the best design techniques to create a speedy race car. If you’ve never done it, Pinewood Derby races are a great way to bring families together and work on a fun project with the whole family. Lowe’s has been doing the Derby Days since 2004 and this year customers (and race fans) will have the chance to find two of five exclusive codes near Dremel product displays in Lowe’s stores during the month of January. The additional three codes will be released on the Boy Scouts of America, Dremel and Lowe’s Facebook and Twitter pages, and can be entered on www.DremelDerby.com to unlock secret “Pro Tips” for building a better race car.
Everyone who participates in the clinics will receive an official Boy Scouts of America race badge patch and a coupon for 10% off their entire Dremel purchase of tools, accessories and attachments. Dremel has even developed an officially licensed Pinewood Derby Rotary Tool Accessory Kit that it has branded exclusively for Lowe’s – complete with an official BSA Pinewood Derby Kit including a pinewood block, four wheels, four axles and the 18 best rotary tool accessories for tuning, crafting and shaping your car. The kit retails for $19.97 and is available in-store or online.
Race fans can also enter their final Pinewood Derby car design at www.DremelDerby.com from January 1 – March 1 for a chance to win a complete Dremel Pinewood Derby Rotary Tool Kit and be named the reigning Pinewood Derby Days champion. The champion will also have his or her winning design displayed in all Lowe’s stores in 2013. Enthusiasts can also visit the website to vote for their favorite car designs, access an online car design studio, and get information on car-building tips and techniques.
