Scavenger Hunt coming to Old Towne Petersburg
From the Old Towne Merchants Group: Shopping and dining in Old Towne just got a little more interesting, thanks to an innovative effort sponsored by the Old Towne Merchants Group. The first-ever Old Towne Scavenger Hunt will run from May 9th to May 15, 2008 and will give participants a chance to become more familiar with the city, as well as win cash and prizes.
Contestants will receive a clue bag with various hints pertinent to Old Towne Petersburg. They will then have six days to search Old Towne for the answers and turn in their responses to the Visitor’s Center at 425 Cockade Alley or to Signature Style Polish Pottery Shop at 13 West Old Street.
Each contestant will receive two chances to win door prizes provided by participating merchants, and all contestants who answer every clue correctly will be entered into a drawing for $50 in cash.
For more information, see the Old Towne Merchants Group website at www.oldtownepetersburg.com, or contact Teresa Munn, Secretary of the Old Towne Merchants Group, by email, or phone 804-733-4495.
Participation in the hunt is free, but registration is required.
wasnt this an idea of Petersburg Vibe

Wonder when petersburgvibe.com is coming back =(
not sure I spoke with her last week about it
Sign Up and join a run with PTA
Not sure if this was a Petersburg vibe event, but we have done webquests for our internet business and they have been very popular. The merchants group thought we’d try a walk-around hunt. What better way to showcase Old Towne, get folks moving through to eat, shop, go into some museums, maybe attend Friday for the Arts! or a Thursday in Old Towne concert. A lot of my internet customers will come to do the hunt. Maybe they’ll fall in love with Old Towone too.
