After two hours of bed-derby racing in the sweltering sun Thursday, 11 teams helped raise over $500 for the Zelienople Area Public Library.
“I’m glad we had a good turnout — I was counting on a real good turnout — it worked out really well,” said mayor and organizer Tom Oliviero. “Eleven beds, it was fantastic, and I’m looking forward to next year.”
Spectators packed South High Street to watch teams of four push their bed and rider down a grueling obstacle course in the second annual Zelienople Bed Derby.
