Scavenger Hunt
Sunday, March 1 - Sunday, March 8
Hosted by Kingfisher Bookstore
Mermaids have been spotted in Penn Cove just in time for the 40th anniversary of Penn Cove Musselfest! Can you find them all at local businesses?
Pick up a scavenger hunt passport at Kingfisher Bookstore to begin your search!
When you spot a mermaid at any of the participating businesses, collect a stamp. When you’ve collected at least 12 different store stamps, take your stamp card to Kingfisher Bookstore to claim a Penn Cove Musselfest mermaid sticker! If you collect at least 24 stamps, bring your paper to Kingfisher Bookstore to get a sticker and a free book from the seconds stack.
The search ends on March 8th.
