The Amazing Race, Optimist Club Style

The Optimist Club of Hillsboro, Oregon is teaming up with the Big Brothers and Big Sisters to put on the Hillsboro Amazing Race.  Patterned loosely after film of the same title, the Hillsboro Amazing Race will be held this Saturday, August 7.

According to the organizers, if you know a lot about Hillsboro history, you'll be fast on your way to winning this activity that tests your memory and gives you clues and puzzles and other fun challenges along the way.  To compete in the Hillsboro Amazing Race, you will need to bring a competitive spirit, a vehicle that you can travel in to get around to four different areas in Hillsboro, a digital camera to photograph your accomplishments, and your team to the starting point, Hillsboro Civic Center, at noon.

By the way, your team must consist of at least one adult and one child age 8-16.

Doesn't this sound like fun?
