Tired of getting dressed up in frilly ballet or tacky cycling outfits for Hallowe'en? Tired of bobbing for apples all alone in your spartan, Ikea-furnished hellhole?

Then come and join us at our spartan, Ikea-furnished hellhole for our Harvest Hallowe'en Hellraiser and Cauldron Curdling Car Rally! It's more than just a party -- it's a party on wheels! A party with carbeurators, unleaded fuel, lug nuts and the occasional high-speed collision. Navigate the backroads around Orkney using clues and answer terrifyingly difficult observation questions. Prizes are awarded for the highest score, lowest mileage, and best fuel economy. And after the rally, a really, really, scary evening full of chills and thrills and the occasional bout of food poisoning (essentially one of our normal get-togethers). We even have a black cat!

So join us on Saturday, October 30, 2004 for all of the above. Or some of the above. Here are the details:

1. Registration is free unless you'd like to donate to our mortgage.

2. A minimum of three adult people are needed per team - a driver, navigator and one or two other people to assist with navigation and deciphering the clues. Navigators will be given a package of instructions and clues. We'll arrange teams upon arrival.

3. Vehicles will depart at 3-minute intervals beginning at 1:30pm. Arrive by 1:00 pm.

4. Bring a clip board, pen and pencil.

5. Post car rally activities may include any of the following: pot-luck dinner (bring a dish); drinking (BYOB), bobbing for apples, pumpkin carving, haunted walks, whatever else works, etc.

6. Extra points will be awarded to teams wearing costumes.

7. Starting point = food drop off point: Our home at 165 Orkney Road, Lynden, Ontario.

Please RSVP ASAP and indicate whether you can provide car/driver: 905-627-3317 or ellie@mycatlikesbutter.com or john@mycatlikesbutter.com.
