Children's Book Run, a charity road rally benefiting

Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children

Help a hospitalized child have a happier Christmas, while having a fun drive in the country, all the while playing a game based on Parker Brother’s famous “Clue”. How can you resist? Course following will be easy, but solving the mystery of “who done it” will be tough.

Well crap, I am really interested in this, but I'm working that day :(

Everything and it's dog is on the 7th this year.

My wife and I are registered. She really enjoys the challenge of these rallies and I enjoy the drive.

We have 23 cars entered as of today, from Audi to Volkswagen, including 4 Mazdas, enough to form a Team.

You don't want to miss out on the rally version of "Clue," and you don't want Scottish Rite Hospital to miss out on your donation of a couple of children's books.

23 entered today means we will probably have about 45 on December 7.

The final course check has been completed. The questions you will have to answer have been checked and rechecked, and as usual, they will be lots of fun.

The latest weather report is not quite like I had hoped, but don't let that keep you away. Rallies are run rain or shine, cold or hot, and up in the north, on snow-covered unpaved roads. The only thing that will stop us will be icy roads.

A drive in the country, a little test of your general knowledge and your problem solving, and some good barbecue to finish off the day. It's cheaper than a day at the mall!
