All roads led to Consecon this weekend as the village by the shore of Weller's Bay put on the shine for its annual Community Day. The event was fun for all ages as a car boot sale, wagon rides through the town and Chi Kung demonstrations kept visitors busy. In the evening, a pork roast and street dance served as a fine way to wind up the day. But the furious action and the highlight of the Consecon Community Day took place mid afternoon on the Mill Street hill as 44 young soap box derby racers competed for the titles of the king and queen of the third annual Consecon Soap Box Derby.
Derby organizer Bill McMahon was pleased with the turnout of young Andrettis and Tracys as the number of registrants was an all time high for the event. And judging by the litany of spectators lining the streets to watch the amateur racers speed down the incline, the Derby is becoming a popular part of the Consecon Community Day. “We are really happy with the turnout and the crowd here to watch the kids,” McMahon told the Gazette. “The event is drawing attendance and the people are saying 'lets go see this thing'.” And it's not just local racers or participants from nearby Trenton or Belleville. “We have a family from Ottawa that travels here, they camp locally and participate in the race and they've done it for the past few years,” McMahon added. Jaden Komac of Bayfield
Home had an outstanding run in his first turn behind the wheel of a nicely decorated racer. “It was pretty good,” Komac said of his first trek down Mill Street. “I was a little bit nervous but I got the hang of it pretty quickly.” Nick Kirby and his grandfather spent the week leading up to the derby perfecting his racer and the young Consecon native was happy after his first time trial. “I like (the derby) because you get to got really fast,” he added. The overall fastest racers Saturday were Madison Rowbotham and Brock Sallans. Age division leaders were: Junior (6 through 7 years)- Noel Peeling, Sam Toth and Walker Valatelo, Bantam ( 7 through 9 years)Serasa Walter, Dustin Young andTyler Gauvin, Senior- Rowbotham, Amber Peeling and Sallans.
