The Neighborhood Easter Bunny Scavenger Hunt will end March 31 and is happening in Hamilton, Oakley and Montgomery.
Tabitha McConnell, store manager of the Aglamesis Bros location in Hamilton said the family-friendly scavenger hunt allows participants to explore local neighborhoods while supporting small businesses.
“It is a family-friendly event. Participants will visit local businesses, find the hidden bunny and collect stamps along the way. A lot of the businesses are offering perks and discounts when you visit the store,” she said.
Participants can pick up a scavenger hunt card at any participating business location within the three neighborhoods. Once players find the hidden bunny at each stop, they will receive a validation stamp and can enjoy the exclusive offer listed on the card. In Hamilton, there are 22 participating locations.
“Hamilton, by far, has the most participating businesses,” McConnell said. “Participants will take a picture of the bunny when they find it, and they will show it to one of the employees on duty. Participants will get their hunt cards stamped and move on to the next business.
“It is during normal business hours, and the businesses are located throughout Hamilton.”
Participants have until March 31 to collect stamps. Completed hunt cards must include stamps from every participating location within the Hamilton neighborhood (or each respective neighborhood) to qualify for the grand prize drawing.
Participants can drop off completed cards at any participating business for a chance to win a Neighborhood Easter Basket filled with prizes from local shops. Winners will be randomly selected and announced on April 2.
“Anyone can participate. It’s a great way to get the kids out, and perfect for girlfriend dates. It’s going to be fun,” McConnell said.
Participating businesses include a mix of local shops, restaurants and attractions across the three neighborhoods. A list of all the participating businesses from each neighborhood can be found here. Participants can scan the QR code on the hunt card to find a map of participating locations.
