YOUTH ENGAGEMENT:
public art scavenger hunt
Hop in your car and take to the streets of Benson during Benson First Friday!
Wanna start your weekend with some ICE CREAM from Ted & Wally's Ultra-Premium Homemade Ice Cream n Benson?
First 5 people to comment on THIS POST with pictures of the 5 scavenger hunt items win a free dish or cone from Ted and Wally's .
Here are the clues:
1. If you come from the West, on our quaint Maple street,
how do you know we love EVERYONE WE MEET?
It’s a great big picture, on the right-hand side.
If you are new to the area, please don’t hide!!!
2. Once there was a garden, near the library and a pizza oven,
who had a golden octopus, that was actually quite fun “lovin”.
3. This one is harder to find, because super heroes hide their face,
but don’t drive all the way to military, or spiderman will be gone without a trace!
4. Once there was a place, near where video games creatures came to play!
And all the creatures from different features, made a beautiful picture bigger than life!
5. I’ve seen them looking at me, not from the ground or from the skies.
But they were hiding in plain sight by my favorite ice cream, with all their crazy, and pretty eyes!
Hint from Sarah B.:
All items are on buildings located on and between Maple street and Military and don't go further east than 60th street. Have fun!
