The Great Pursuit - Catherine Barr

PICTURE this. You're driving your car and all of a sudden a stretch limousine pulls up in front. Out jumps six wacky people wearing crazy wigs and costumes. Sound strange? Well, not really, especially if you are one of the 27 teams participating in "The 8th Annual Great Pursuit". The North Shore Association for the Mentally Handicapped hosted its photo scavenger hunt this past Sunday. Prizes for best costume, top money raiser and more were handed out to participants. A wind-up party at Lions Gate Studios helped cap off the afternoon in style. More than $35,000 was raised last year and, judging from the turnout, this year would be even better. Congratulations everyone.
