Original Toronto Star caption: Beware of tilts when you walk on stilts; The trouble with walking on stilts is that you have to learn to control two pairs of legs: your own and a wooden pair. It's not always easy; as 12-year-old Fabricio Patton discovered yesterday as he set out to have some fun on the long weekend. Fabricio; a visitor from Pittsford; N.Y.; decided to test his skills at Black Creek Pioneer Village in the Jane St.-Steeles Ave. areas of North York.
