CAR RALLY!!!
How did this work?  Well there were fourteen clues hidden all over the city.  Each clue gave a clue to find the next clue and so on.  It started at 7:30 pm on May 31 of the year 2002.  Everyone met at the church and were split into three groups of with four people to a group.  The groups went to there respective drivers and then Chris gave the first clue and then everyone was off.  This turned out to be an awesome youth event.  Mental challenge and exercise!!  It is amazing what can be done when people work together.  Anyway it ended up being a close finish with the first two teams finishing only minutes apart.  Unbelievable!!  Only minutes apart after an hour and a half of racing.
Special Thanks to the drivers:  Burt, Cherry and Paul and a big thanks to Chris and Burt for making the clues.
Here are the fourteen clues that made our heads spin.
The answers are at the bottom of the page.
Clue #1
Apparently Spiderman has visited the city!  Can you find his work of "art" - several people webbed together for the viewing pleasure of many.

Clue #2
One of the few underground outdoor bathrooms in the city.  The unique feature of these bathrooms is that at select times throughout the summer, you can listen to the bands play over head, while you do your "business".

Clue #3

I have been waiting a looong time for you to find me here on one of the oldest structure in Saskatoon.  Just up the hill is the only remaining 'home stead' in the city - what a treat!

Clue #5
"let your fingers do the walking" to find where I am.  Use not your sixth sense, but your 'eighth' sense.  Hopefully you can find me between 7 and 11 tonight but I must warn you not to stop on the broadway?for if you do, well let's just not go there.

Clue #6
Help me I have been kidnapped!! I don't know where I am, but can you come and get me?  I only have a few pieces of information that might help.  First, these guys are always talking about visiting a guy named Tim, at other times they talk about visiting Robin, I think.  Some how I think the Queen is involved ? but I can't be sure.  Be careful!  These guys have guns ? 8 mm I think.

Clue #11
Find me quick ? or I will go crazy with all these bird brains around!!
