Taking place on Saturday, June 11, 2011, from 9:00am – 1:00pm, the First Annual Spokane Braille Rally is a contest in which cars leave a starting point at a carefully recorded time, and traverse a more or less complicated route to a finish point. The rally will feature a “navigator” (blind or visually impaired person) and a “driver” (vehicle operator). The navigator will provide instructions and/or clues that are written in braille or large print to the driver, who will use that information to find the right checkpoints and navigate the course.

The pair completing the contest with the least amount of penalty points (received by arriving too early or too late to a checkpoint) will be the winner!

During the rally, there will also be the ‘Drive and Shine’ car show, held at the Inland Northwest Lighthouse (INL) on 6405 N. Addison Street in Spokane. The rally will begin at 9:00am, and the car show will be held from 10:00am to 2:00pm. At the end of the event there will be a presentation of awards for the rally and the car show at 12:30pm in the INL parking lot.
