Great Pursuit

THEY do it every year, raise money that is. The 10th Annual Great Pursuit was held on Sunday May 26 where an estimated $30,000 was raised for the North Shore Association for the Mentally Handicapped. The event, which is a scavenger hunt in limosines, sees groups of six dress-up and scrounge the shore for clues. Equipped with an instant camera, the teams must take photos proving they were actually in the right places. Everything comes together later in the afternoon at Lions Gate Studios where everyone gathers for a big after-party and all the prizes are handed out. Big fun.

	Limo drivers Alex Vis and Al Russell had a bit of fun themselves as they drove those crazy pursuers around town.
