Historical Scavenger Hunt

Back by Popular Demand Historical Scavenger Hunt

The Cameron County Historical Society is going to have another Historical Scavenger Hunt throughout the entire county, and anyone can join in the fun. Participants had so much fun last year they requested we go it again. That's what we are going to do. But it won't be the same there is a whole new slew of hunts for you to locate. After all our main goal is to educate everyone on our counties amazing history.

It's seriously fun and surprisingly tricky especially for budding detectives, just bring your razor-sharp intellect for some historical sleuthing.

You can do it as an individual, a team of two, or as a family. All participants will receive one free membership for a year. Individual memberships are valued at $12 and family at $20.

The hunt will last for the entire month of June giving participants plenty of time to take part.

First Prize: $30 and a historical book valued at $10 

Second Prize: $20 and a historical book valued at $10 

Third Prize: $10 and a historical book valued at $10

Announcement of the winners will be announced at a hot dog roast in July at "The Little Museum"

 in Sterling Run.

All participants will register at the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce during May, last day to register is May 31. No late registers will be accepted! At this time, you will receive the hunt guidelines and details so you can begin the hunt.

This hunt is designed so that very little walking would be necessary just grab your camera or cell phone w/camera and get ready to snap some historical photos. While along the way you 

will have to pick up a few historical cards at local businesses just to add a little edge to the game.

Most of the hunt you're not hunting for objects to collect, but for answers to the 20 witty questions about historical places and objects for you to discover. As mentioned before the hunt will last the entire month of June so that you have enough time to plan and customize your needs while discovering the strengths of everyone on your team.

Starting the first week of June (5) clues will be reveled weekly, with 5 more each week thereafter. Weekly the clues will be available at the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce and will be advertised with the local news media to give others a chance to play along just for the fun of it.

It's been a long winter for all of us and it's time to put those old winter blues behind us and get thinking caps in action and join in the fun of a county-wide historical scavenger hunt.
