it’s funny. You need to have someone
there to remind you what was funny
about it in the first place.”
The comedy is going to be well-
rehearsed with the time and effort
the group is putting in.
The show will be universal
according to Armour.
“The show is going to be
everyone-friendly,” he said. “Kids,
adults, the elderly and everyone in
between will enjoy it. There will be
music, dance and acrobatics and it
will all be funny.”
Armour explained the comedy
runs the gamut from slapstick to
gags to pratfall which will aid in
making it so accessible.
“This is simple laughter,” he said.
“It’s not going to be too heavy a
show. It’s very alive, very in the
moment.”
The play will also feature audience
participation, however Armour said
that no one needs to worry.
“No one is going to get hurt,”
Armour said, though some of the
cast laughed and clarified that no
audience members would be hurt.

is something Brett says he has to
stop and realize sometimes.
“I’ve grown up with it. It’s been
part of our lives for years,” Lee said.
There were times over the
weekend though, he said, that he
stopped and couldn’t help but be
amused by how far-reaching the
event has become.
In one of the amateur classes, he
said, he presented the top three
awards to a rider from Nova Scotia,
a rider from British Columbia and a
rider from Ontario. In seeing those
three riders on the podium, he said,
he couldn’t help but be impressed by
the national impact of the event.
Another one of those moments
was during the Kissel concert. He
said that as he watched Kissel
perform for thousands of fans, he
was happy with the transformation
of the property.
“Fifty weeks a year, this is a farm,
but for two weeks a year it becomes
something else,” Lee said. “One
night there is a country star on the
stage, the next day it’s hosting the
best races in the country. It’s
funny.”
While the TransCan may be in the
books for another year, the Walton
Raceway’s season is far from over.
Lee says there are still a handful of
motocross events yet to take place,
in addition to remote-controlled car
races, a mud bog and various team-
building exercises at the Challenge
Course before the raceway shuts
down for the winter.

The podium was a busy place on Sunday, as the 24th annual Walton TransCan wrapped up
with a compelling final race. Matt Goerke of California took home the top prize as the overall
winner, while St. Thomas’ Colton Facciotti was dubbed the King of Walton, with the sword to
prove it, followed by California’s Brett Metcalfe in the third spot on the podium. (Vicky Bremner photo)
