Our First Annual Adventure Rally was a huge success on June 20, 2004. Net proceeds to local women's support organizations was $4800 !! We had 17 cars in the rally and boy were they on a goose chase. More of a scavenger hunt really, with wacky directions and even wackier questions. Our title sponsor was Budds' Subaru, and pit-stop sponsors Skid Control School, McDonald's and the post event was a celebration with prizes and great food at Kelsey's. Join us for next year's rally..... link to pdf version of Beaver Article.
