What a day of fun, friendly competition, and community spirit at this year’s Southeast Weld County Chamber Soap Box Derby! Held in Hudson Colorado on September 27th, this event was eagerly anticipated by the community and saw a spectacular turnout for its inaugural premiere.
The creativity that went into the design of the cars was nothing short of amazing as is evidenced by the photos you see on these pages. Photo credits to Ed Morales Photography, official photographer of the 2025 Soap Box Derby! The following prizes were awarded at the “car show”:
Best in Show went to Christopher Sierra-Felix for his sleek “Low Rider Caddy.”
Most Patriotic was awarded to Corvus Revello for his USMC ride.
Most Creative honors went to Lili Hilton for her imaginative “Saddled Up” entry.
You can also check out Tanner Dempewolf’s interview with Denver 7 News on Youtube and Facebook. Once you view his interview, you’ll see why we believe that Tanner is destined to be a great leader one day. It also solidifies our belief that this community event is destined to become a treasured tradition among our young racers.
