Soapbox Derby - Hawley 500

Church St., Hawley, PA 18428 View Map

Saturday June 14 was the 3rd annual Hawley 500 Soapbox Derby. This year it was named the Smokin’ Hawley 500, in honor of the late Smokey Austen, who was a devoted supporter of the two previous Derby events in town.

Nothing spells A-m-e-r-i-c-a-n-a like a soap box derby on a sunny summer day (well, the derby was over just before the thunderstorm hit!) Steve Smith, owner of the Falls Port Inn & Restaurant in Hawley came up with the idea of having this annual event. Different businesses around town sponsor the derby by either creating and donating cars or financially supporting the event. It was a fun time had by all - including my two Speed Racers, or maybe Speed Racer and Trixie?

Enjoy the pictures - my favorite car, without a doubt, was also the creepiest - it was a hearse, complete with a little coffin inside! Thanks Teeters! :-)

Beware of cheap land sales in the Poconos!!!!!

Jason Feinman, "Your Pocono Home" ABR, e-PRO: Real Estate Agent in East Stroudsburg, PA

If you are thinking about making ANY real estate purchase, home or land, DO NOT use any tax sale system or buy from a company where you are not served by a REALTOR who you can select as a buyers' agent. I have witnessed people looking to sell the land that they purchased only to find out that the title was not free and clear nor did they purchase title insurance on the property. This leaves the purchaser most times with a worthless piece of land unless they want to spend another $1500-$2000 on an "action to quiet title", which can take 6 months or more to complete. If you are looking to buy a home or land in the Poconos, call me, Jason Feinman of Weichert,Realtors-Acclaim in Tannersville, PA at 570-242-0299 and visit my website: www.YourPoconoHome.net. I have helped many satisfied clients with their home and land purchases.
