<strong>“Rally Tidbits”</strong>
A very special thank you to Connie Urfer who checked everyone in and saved us a ton of time and confusion, and also Nancy Butts for her typing of the clues! Also a very special thank you to the handsome young man that sat out at Liberty Pole Hill for a good portion of the day, Joey Sokol!!
We discovered, as well as did the staff at The Station, that many people do not know the words to the Budweiser Song. Smart phones came in handy for that problem!! The clerks working the counter really enjoyed that our people had to stop, sing and pick up a clue from them! Very entertaining!!
When you “make dreams” it could be described as “Night Visions.” Also, Kale is a “healthy” vegetable. Superman actually lives on S. Harrison. CLARK was on the mailbox. Margaret Mitchell IS the author of Gone with the Wind. Gene Kelly was singing in the rain! Pheasant Under Glass is a delectable dish found in high-end restaurants. This guy made our day…I thanked this young man for coming each year, as he lives elsewhere. He replied, “I wouldn’t miss it; it starts my Holiday Season!!!!” Also, we don’t have you look for the obvious thing. We also are enjoying the fact that you really get into the rally as a number of teams dress for the day. Team t-shirts are becoming common and even costumes!! We love it!!
We could never do this without the help of many other people. We would like to extend that thank you to everyone at Citgo-The Station, Attica Bar, Dam Bar, J&M Bar, The Nest, Borland’s, Margie Eith, Faye, Jack and Randy Nolden, Sandy and Rod Rinde, Tri-State Aluminum, Jim Fahey, Jim Olson, Mabis’s, and Sue Moen from the paper for coming early to take everyone’s picture.
Thirty-two cars signed up for fun, 141 eager people, and one shy dog, joined in the fun! This year’s trip was 95 miles long. Perfect time was 5.5 hours. The winning car found all 31 UFOs. Third Place found 30 of them and Second Place found 29 UFOs. And three teams found eight of our 14 red garden globes! One of them was really hard to see as we did not see it until just prior to running the rally. We drove by a house and Barb suddenly remembered that they used to have a red ball. We slowly drove by their place on Freidig Road and in the back yard we spotted it!
We think almost everyone had a great day and fun participating. Of course, we have already thought of things we could use for next year! We are always on the lookout anytime we are out and about!
A complete turkey dinner was purchased and donated at the ‘Turkey Drop’ last week, on behalf of the Road Rally profits. The Library fund will also benefit. Thank you all for your participation!
If you like a challenge, a fun day, some great scenery, please consider joining us next fall at the 2017 Road Rally!! We would love to have you join us!
