Downtown Holiday Hen Hunt
Participants embark on a community scavenger hunt across participating downtown businesses to spot hidden Holiday Hens dressed in festive holiday attire. Scavengers follow an official event map and record each hen's name as they find them. Completed maps can be returned to enter a drawing for gift cards donated by local merchants.
