Chamber awards Scavenger Hunters

A number of Scavenger Hunters will reap the benefits of their labor, following the Twin Cities’ Chamber of Commerce Scavenger Hunt, held for the first time over the course of two weeks, with entries submitted on Saturday.

Participants were given 20 clues, in hopes of being guided to a number of locations in Fulton and South Fulton, through the provision of historically based information.

Chamber Director Thea Vowell said this event was coordinated to encourage families and friends to enjoy a socially distancing ride or walk throughout the community, while learning interesting tidbits relating to the Twin Cities and its business community, as well as encourage the public to become familiar with the products and services available for purchase in the community.

Answers were to be recorded and emailed to the Chamber, with bonus points earned for “checking in” with a selfie on facebook, at locations available for that process, as well as an extra five bonus points available for uploading a one-minute video performance on facebook, at the correctly answered location to clue #1.
