2007 Road Rally Wrap-Up

The Queen City Rotary Club held its 26th annual Road Rally on Saturday October 20, 2007. Forty cars in teams of four left the PSHN parking lot at 6:30 PM and spent the next three and a half hours solving puzzles, finding clues, and scouring the greater Manchester area in search of answers.

The event is a modified scavenger hunt. Contestants are challenged by ten puzzles each of which directs them to a location where some obscure piece of information must be found before moving on to the next. Teams are scored by the most correct answers in the shortest possible time. This year's winner had nine out of ten correct answers in just over three hours. The event concluded at the Manchester School of Technology where the participants congregated for food, drink, answers, prizes, and fellowship. A good time was had by all.

The Road Rally is the Club's annual fall fund-raiser. We actively solicit prizes and sponsorships. All proceeds assist local child-oriented charities and organizations in the greater Manchester area with holiday-related and seasonal needs. This year's event grossed just under $4000.

The Queen City Rotary Club thanks all who sponsored and participated in our 2007 event. The 27th annual event will be held on Saturday October 18, 2008. An application and overview of the rules for the event can be found here.
