COVID cabin fever got you down?
Why not get outside for an Allen County historical architecture scavenger hunt!
The Allen County Historical Society and Iola Area Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to provide this event that is entirely free and open to all ages.
There are also some awesome prizes for the winners, including $200 in Chamber Bucks along with a number of gift cards.
The hunt itself begins on August 5 at 9 a.m. and runs until the submission date on August 31 at 5 p.m.
Contact Kurtis Russell, director of the historical society, or Jill Hartman, director of the chamber, with any additional questions.
HERE’S how to play and win:
First get ahold of the answer sheet containing all the images, which you can find on the Historical Society’s or Chamber’s Facebook page.
You can also find a copy of it in today’s paper.
There are 15 images in all, for which you need to guess their names and/or locations.
Hint, hint: They are all in Allen County.
If you’re not sure, why not go for a cruise and see what you can find?
Once you’ve identified all 15 images/locations, turn in your answer-sheet at either the Allen County Historical Society museum at 20 South Washington Avenue or at the Iola Area Chamber office inside the Bowlus Fine Arts Center at 205 E. Madison Avenue.
If you’re unsure of your answers, don’t rush, as all sheets with correct identifications will be entered for a drawing wherein everyone has an equal chance to win.
YOU’ll also want to follow the rules of the game as you hunt.
— One entry per person please.
