THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1993. °MUM CAN NATIONAL Lit0114OULROCO IONSEIM3 Food booth A unique feature of the Trans Can National Championships in Walton, will be offered once again this year. The B&W Trailblazers Snowmo- bile Club will be providing on site food for the competitors and spec- tators. Unlike previous years, the booth will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day of the event, says Pam Clark, food booth co-ordinator for the club. The many volunteers from the Trailblazers will be serving full breakfasts which will include bacon and eggs, toast, jam, juice and cof- fee. Hotdogs, hamburgers and bacon or pork on a bun can be ordered later in the day. Along with the nutritional meals, the typical "junk" food will be available as well as pop. Mrs. Clark says last year's booth was very busy and they expect the same this year. "We sold out of just about everything. We were selling plain tomato sandwiches by the end. Once the flagpeople got off duty, they devoured everything." The Trailblazers' food booth will be staffed by three people through- out the day and four on Saturday and Sunday, at the peak times. The booth is used as a fundraiser for the snowmobile club to help pay for the two new trail groomers which were purchased in the past year. Post race activities Many post race activities are in the works. A volleyball tournament will once again take place as will a tug-of war tournament. The orga- nizers want you to start putting your team together so you can par- ticipate in the fun. Also taking place will be a corn roast, community camp fire and for those with aching bones and mus- cles, massage services will be available. Challenge race A special challenge event has been organized for the enjoyment of racing fans. Dan "Dangerous" Davidson has put together a Vintage Can/Am challenge, scheduled for Sunday. Riders from Michigan and New York will race against any CMC Canadian rider on a vintage machine. There will be two classes; 1974 and before and 1975 to 1980. Information can be obtained by contacting Mr. Davidson at (416) 450-5157.
