COVENTRY – The Coventry Events Committee is gearing up for their second annual Spring Fling and this year, they’ve added something a little more interesting to turn the community focused event into a full day affair.

According to Events Committee Chair Doug Besemer, this year’s Spring Fling will kick off this Saturday with a road rally which will take participants on a 3 1/2 hour tour of Coventry and Chenango County. The event is not a race, but a timed test of driving skills and local knowledge.

“You don’t get specific directions, you get clues,” Besemer explained, so each car will need a navigator. He’s gotten a sneak peek, the event coordinator said, and wishes he himself could join in the fun.
