Team Dearborn Yellow Brick Road Rally

We're getting ready for our first annual road rally! In keeping with our Relay theme of The Wizard of Oz, it's called the Team Dearborn Yellow Brick Road Rally. It's taking place on Sunday, May 6. Entry fee is $25 per car, so bring your friends to help you navigate the streets of the greater Dearborn area, solving clues to find your destination point, take a picture of your team at each destination, try your hand at bonus clues and activities, and win prizes!
Road rally begins and ends at Buffalo Wild Wings in Dearborn (22216 Michigan Ave.). Check-in for teams begins at 2 PM, with rules and final announcements at 2:45. Teams will be sent out at 3 PM and are due back to BWW by 6 PM. Fabulous prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers! Winning is based on a combination of time, points for correct answers, bonus points, loss of points for violations. A full rule sheet will be available at the Rally.
Buffalo Wild Wings is offering a 20% donation for all sales from opening to closing, so join us early for lunch or plan to stay after the Rally and share the tales of your travels over dinner (the necessary flyer will be posted here as soon as we have it, or you can get one from us there). The flyers are good all day, whether or not you participate in the road rally. 
What to bring: Your brain, a heart, some courage, a smart phone, camera, a thesaurus, a red crayon, flying monkey repellant (seriously, prizes for most creative!), pens, pencils, highlighters, paper, bubbles, bottled water, string, at least a little cash, sunglasses, and your drivers license and proof of insurance if you are driving for your team.
All proceeds from the Road Rally will be donated to the American Cancer Society through the Relay For Life of Dearborn.
Did I mention that since it's a Sunday, parking at BWW is free? Who doesn't love free parking?
Must be 18 or above and a licensed driver to drive your team. All participants must sign a waiver agreeing to follow all legal rules of the road, including wearing seatbelts, obeying speed limits and traffic signs, etc.
As always, we are accepting donations of gift cards as prizes if you'd like to help us with this fundraiser- email us at teamdearborncares@gmail.com or get in touch with any Team member!
