Huge congrats to all 22 riders for braving the track in DIY soap box race cars. Once again, Ucluelet Mayor Mayco Noël teamed up with councillor Lara Kemps to rejuvenate this community event they both fondly remember participating in as kids. This year it was renamed the Dustin Riley Soap Box Derby to honour the memory of Ucluelet’s Coastal Cowboy.

Cheers the Ucluelet Co-op and Ucluelet Rotary for serving hot dogs, Tourism Ucluelet for cotton candy and Adley at Sharky Balloons for gifting magical creations.
