WALLACE — Next week marks the 84th running of the Wallace Gyro Club’s Lead Creek Derby, the club’s sole fundraiser supporting college scholarships, youth activities and civic projects. This year’s first-place prize will be the most valuable silver award in derby history, thanks to the sharp rise in silver prices.
The festivities kick off Wednesday, June 17, with the Gyros’ modern take on the historic Radio Day. As has become tradition since the end of KWAL 620 AM, the Gyros have replaced radio with a live videocast from the sidewalk next to the Wallace Elks on Wednesday afternoon.
