September 23, 2023

Host Site: Grills Orchards

Entry: $50 per car

Join us for our annual fall fundraiser Harvesting Hope for Hospice Quinte Car Rally & Artisan Market, happening Saturday, September 23, 2023.

Starting at Grills Orchards at 10 AM, participants will experience tons of fun activities and a chance to win prizes galore as they travel to destinations throughout Belleville and Quinte West in this timed scavenger hunt. 50 cars total are allowed to participate, with participants able to choose 1 of 25 slots in either Belleville or Trenton as their destination city.

Participants will be guided to 9 destinations through clues.
At each destination, the participants will play a minute-to-win-it game to earn points for their passport and collect a unique token/promo item from that location.

Lunch will be pizza provided by Papa John’s.
Time: Rally participants register at Grills Orchard at 9:30am. They will receive clues and head out by 10:00am. We ask that all participants return to Grills by 11:45am regardless of their progress, as lunch will be served at noon.
