Registration on-site at 10:30
After the concours awards, we will gather to do a drive through the Cheshire Home driveway and be greeted by the residents.
Any donations would be appreciated and collected when you check in.
From there, we will trek through the scenic back roads with informative directions to guide us to a great lunch spot at the Publick House in Chester, N.J. This historic stagecoach stop and hotel was built in 1810. Great ambiance, bar, and a lunch menu to top off a great day with your friends. Participants are responsible for their food and drinks – check lunch menu on PH website.
This will be a trek, not a rally as we have done in the past. The route will be as pretty as our rallys, but not with scored questions and mileage. Joining in on the trek will earn you five points toward the end of season overall rally scores.
