CSCC proudly presents a Halloween tradition -- the 57th anniversary Ghouls Gambol Rally. Ghouls Gambol is a fun drive on scenic country roads, through autumn-colored countryside. This easy time-speed-distance road rally takes about three hours to complete, including a mid-rally break. Expect treats and maybe a trick or two, for it is a fun Halloween outing afterall. As a special treat this year, the rally ends at Spirit of Halloweentown in St. Helens!
There will be prizes for top finishers and best decorated cars. Who says you don’t have a ghost of a chance? You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll howl at the moon!
