Brantford: The Great Event with Doug the Great [Sep 21], Guinness World Record attempt [Oct 21]

From the June 1st article "Doug “the Great” to reach new heights this October" by Kimberly de Jong in the Brant Beacon:

(Doug) Hunt is set to make another Guinness World Record attempt for stilt walking during the 10th anniversary of the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre rebuild on Saturday, October 21, 2023.

In anticipation for the event, Hunt and his camp are preparing for a fundraising event called the “Great Event” to be held on Thursday, September 21, 2023.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Participation Support Services Brantford, Brant and Norfolk.

“The September event will be like a pre-party leading up the October attempt,” said Tammy Hunt, Doug’s niece. “The event will be to help raise money in support of Participation Support Services, which is his ‘why’ for this fundraiser. The celebration will almost be like a big community hug for him.”

From the July 4th article "Doug The Great looking to reclaim stilt walking record" by Vincent Ball in The Brantford Expositor:

Backed by a strong team of supporters, the multi-talented Brantford entertainer is going after the Guinness World Record for the tallest stilts ever mastered. Wearing stilts that will measure close to 55 feet in height, Hunt will attempt to take 10 steps in front of the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre on Oct. 21.

The world-record event will be part of the Gretzky Centre’s 10th anniversary celebration.

“I’ll be on the stilts and taking the steps but this is a team effort,” Hunt, also known as Doug The Great, said. “Tom (Rollins) is back, Dave Levac is handling the logistics and my niece Tammy (Hunt), Joshua (Wall), Robb (Nagy) are also helping out and doing some fundraising.

“We have a terrific team working on this and I’m really grateful for the support.”

Arron Jeavons, Trevor Cherewka, Tom Hunt, Gary Foster and Graeme Reed are also on the “On The Record Team.”
