It’s their time to shine.
The public can get a sneak peek at the soap box carts set to race in Saturday’s third annual Soap Box Derby at a show n’ shine gathering this Friday night at the Tsawwassen Save-On-Foods parking lot.
A panel of judges will award a Best Cart honour at the show ‘n shine, which goes from 7 to 9 p.m., noted event chair Maggie Dorf.
The carts will be in action starting Saturday morning at 11 a.m. Like last year, racers will speed down the 6th Avenue hill with the starting gates situated at Milsom Wynd and the finish line at 52nd Street.
Nearly 50 racers are taking part in the derby.
“It’s 100 per cent family fun. It’s just a total family-orientated event in our community. That’s absolutely the best part about it,” said Dorf.
The annual Soap Box Derby is presented by the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen and the City of Delta.
