Even though the content of the rally is historic, your car doesn’t have to be. Cars, pick-up trucks, even RVs are more than welcome to take part.

Along the route historians will provide interesting facts and stories about Perth County at four stops along the way. Pay attention because when you are finished there’s a quiz and the highest score with the closest time to the official rally time is the winner.

Thanks to our incredible Car Tour Committee made up of Stratford Rotarians!
