The Fun Family Scavenger Hunt

January 20 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Unleash the Explorer in You: Downtown Scavenger Hunt Extravaganza!

Hello, fellow adventurers and seekers of excitement! Grab your magnifying glass, lace up those walking shoes, and get ready for a thrilling urban escapade in the heart of downtown. We’re talking about the Downtown Scavenger Hunt, where the streets become your playground, and hidden treasures await your discovery.

The Scavenger Hunt Deets

Picture this: a leisurely walk through the bustling downtown area, surrounded by the charming vibes of local merchants. But wait, there’s a twist! Instead of merely window shopping, you’re on a mission. Your family becomes a team of super-sleuths armed with a Scavenger Hunt Sheet, ready to spot elusive items displayed in the windows of our friendly neighborhood merchants.

When and Where?

The adventure kicks off at the historic San Carlos Museum between 10:00 AM and noon. This isn’t just any scavenger hunt; it’s a community event, a chance to connect with your city, and an opportunity to make lasting memories with your loved ones.

Upon arrival, each family will receive a set of rules and their very own hunt sheet, mapping out the clues and items to hunt for. It’s like a secret mission, only this time, the whole family is in on it!

Epic Prizes Await!

Now, let’s talk about the cherry on top – prizes! We’re not just sending you on a mission for the fun of it. Families with the most correct answers will be crowned champions of the Downtown Scavenger Hunt. And guess what? Three lucky victors will snag gift certificates to the one and only Reading Bug!

Imagine your family strolling through downtown, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, and later, savoring the joy of victory with a new book in hand. It’s a win-win!

Rules of the Hunt

Before you embark on this epic quest, let’s go over the rules. First and foremost, this is a family-friendly adventure, so bring everyone from grandpa to the little ones. Cooperation is key!

  1. Start at the San Carlos Museum: Gather your crew between 10:00 AM and noon. The museum is not just the starting point; it’s a hub of local history, making the hunt even more exciting.
  2. Hunt Sheet and Rules: Your treasure map awaits! Each family will be equipped with a Scavenger Hunt Sheet and a set of rules. Read them carefully, strategize with your team, and get ready to conquer the hunt.
  3. Leisurely Pace: This isn’t a race; it’s a stroll. Take your time, enjoy the sights, and relish the experience. Who knows what you might discover along the way?
  4. Windows Galore: Keep those eagle eyes peeled for the items listed on your hunt sheet. Local merchants have joined the fun by showcasing these items in their windows. It’s like a city-wide art gallery!
  5. Return to Victory: Once your family has triumphantly ticked off all the items, head back to the San Carlos Museum. The real treasure is the shared laughter, excitement, and quality time spent together.

The Reading Bug Grand Prize Extravaganza

The Reading Bug is not just a bookstore; it’s a haven for book lovers of all ages. Picture yourself perusing the shelves, discovering new worlds, and finding the perfect read for every family member.

Our three lucky winners will not only bask in the glory of victory but will also receive gift certificates to The Reading Bug. It’s like unlocking a treasure trove of stories and adventures for the whole family.

Follow the Trail, Share the Joy

Win or lose, the Downtown Scavenger Hunt is about more than just the hunt. It’s a chance to bond with your family, connect with local businesses, and create stories that will be retold for years to come.

We’ll be posting the victorious families on our website, so be sure to check in and see if your name is in lights. Even if you don’t emerge as the ultimate champion, the real prize is the joy of exploration, the thrill of the hunt, and the shared laughter echoing through the downtown streets.

So, gear up, gather your kin, and let the Downtown Scavenger Hunt begin! May your eyes be sharp, your steps be light, and your hearts be filled with the spirit of adventure. See you at the starting line, explorers!
