This rally is a miles-driven event (not timed). The miles you drive, compared to the official miles, and your answers to trivia questions will determine the winners (3 trophies). You will receive biographies of the veterans whose sign you locate while following detailed route instructions (between 5 and 12 miles, depending on the route).

| Saint Mary’s Knights of Columbus is hosting a rally to honor and remember Holliston’s veterans of WWI, II, Viet Nam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. There are 18 signposts on street corners throughout the town and a memorial at Blair Square that go unnoticed and largely forgotten. Let’s change that. Participants (driver and navigator) pay a registration fee of $20.00 per car to follow directions leading to many memorials, answer trivia questions and questions about the memorials, and record their miles driven to compete for trophies (see flyer with driving instructions attached). The drive will be informative and fun for both adults and children. Please consider sponsoring this event to honor America’s veterans. A donation of $100.00 or whatever you can afford will help make this event a success.
