Beds ready The stage is set for next Monday's first annual Big Brothers Bed Race, which will take place along Queen Street in Port Perry beginn- ing at 2:00 p.m. To date between 15 and 20 entries in the race have been confirmed, with the deadline for entries being extended until race time. Beds have been entered by organizations, businesses and individuals, with many challenges between teams taking place. Around the area a weird concoction of beds are being assembled, welded and 'nailed together in hopes that their entries will be among the winners. Only if' all the wheels stay attached --to-the frame, and the bed can hold up to the strain of the route, plus the passen- will they stand a chance of emerging victor- ious. It is for this reason many of the beds are being welding together to prevent breakdowns. Local commentator Joel ~~ Aldred will be on hand in front of the Post Office dur- ing the races to give a bed-by-bed commentary -as the beds pass by. The Scugog Fire Department will have one of their trucks on display, as well as the OPP with one of their crusiers for the public to inspect. For safety of the public and those racing,.the street will be cleared of cars beginning at 1:30 p.m. Some of these beds are not equipped with steering mechanisms so cars could be in danger of being side- swiped by a runnaway bed. For this reason the Big Brothers would appreciate spectators keeping their cars off of Queen Street. Bed race teams should note that they must have their beds at the IGA park- ing lot by 12:00 noon, the day of the race for an inspection. This will give the teams a little, time to adjust their entries in case they do not meet the standards set down in the rules.
