Tyne Valley soapbox derby brings community together for a weekend of fun

Nine-year-old Luke Bridges won a division at the Tyne Valley soapbox derby on Saturday. But winning and losing wasn't all that important to him. Bridges has been taking part of the soapbox derby for nearly half his life, this year being his fourth year racing. "I get to bring home the gold," he said. "But it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just have a good time." The soapbox derby has been going on in Tyne Valley for 12 years. Pam MacKinnon, a volunteer at the derby, says the event raises money for various things in the community, including the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival. "It's 100 per cent volunteer," MacKinnon said. "It's pretty awesome that everybody can just show up and offer a hand and see all the excitement from the kids." The derby is set up in four divisions, A through D. Bridges won the D event. A fifth category, All-American Cars, sends the champion to Ohio next year for the world championship. Community impact MacKinnon said this event is good for the entire community. "It's just an awesome way to get together," MacKinnon said. "It requires a huge amount of volunteers, but being from Tyne Valley and part of a lot of volunteering here, we have a phenomenal base of volunteers in this community." There were roughly 55 participants ages seven to 20. No experience was required. For the division using the big cars, there are prizes for the top drivers.

He also competed in the three-metre contest and the platform event, where he won the top spots in each competition. • The information you need to know, sent directly to you: Download the CTV News App 'I never thought I'd win all three events, especially for a second year in a row! It was a tough challenge, against very strong competitors,' said Shaw. '[Winning those events] really helped me a lot! It showed me that I have what it takes to beat my opponents. I did hope to win a medal in today's finals, but I really didn't expect to win gold because the level of competition was so high,' he said.
