Downtown Bend plans ski scavenger hunt
After the holiday season, many people tend to stay inside with the colder temperatures and winter like weather (maybe). The Downtown Bend Business Association is hoping to provide a fun scavenger hunt to get people out of the house and to Downtown!
“It’s a fun way to get people out of their houses and possibly into a Downtown store they might have never gone into before,” said spokeswoman Michaela Beechem. “It’s a way for our local business owners to meet locals in a fun way! We have 60 stores participating and it will be a lot of fun for people of all ages!”
The event will run from January 7 th – February 7 th . It will be a partnership with Mount Bachelor and their ski groups for the season. Each store will have a passport in their location with a list of all participating stores. You pick up the passport, find the ski figurine in each store with the hashtag, #DowntownBendSkiHunt. If you post the picture with the hashtag you could be highlighted on the Downtown Bend Facebook page and Website. Here’s a list of the sixty stores participating:
