Tourism Week goes on the hunt

Pendleton Co. Tourism

FALMOUTH — In celebration of National Tourism Week, Pendleton County Tourism invites residents and visitors to take part in a weeklong scavenger hunt adventure, happening May 4 to 10.

“This fun, family-friendly activity is a great way to explore Pendleton County’s small businesses, historical landmarks and local charm,” Tami Vater, county economic and tourism development director said.

The scavenger hunt features 10 locations across the county, each with a clue or interactive task.

Participants can download the official Scavenger Hunt Clue Sheet from the Pendleton County Tourism Facebook Page.

“As you follow the clues, you’ll meet local business owners, discover fascinating history, and enjoy a week of local pride and adventure,” Vater said.

Once your clue sheet is complete, return it to the Pendleton County Tourism Booth during the Ewenique Art Walk this Saturday to be entered into a drawing for a locally curated gift basket worth more than $100, featuring items and gift cards from local businesses.

The prize basket include a gift certificate for a local clothing store, goodies from a local cafe, items from an equestrian boutique, a gift certificate from a women’s boutique and handcrafted goods from an artisan shop.

Bonus entries are offered for every receipt dated May 4 to 10 from one of the participating scavenger hunt locations.

To qualify, entrants need to write their name and phone number on the back of each receipt, and turn in the receipts along with the  completed scavenger hunt card.

To participate, download the clue sheet from https://bitly.info/scav or see the ad in this week’s Outlook.

Submit your clue sheet and receipts with your contact info at the Tourism Booth on May 10 during the Ewenique Art Walk.
