Family Scavenger Hunt

We're sending you and your family on a hunt for 50 things to collect and photos to take that will exercise your brain and your funny bone. When you've checked off all the items on the list, decorate a shoe box with your newly found treasures. Bring your boxes to city hall by Friday, October 14 for a chance to win a prize! Boxes will be judged on content and creativity. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams.
