🦃 It’s Turkey Time, Pittsfield! 🦃
Get ready for a fun Turkey Scavenger Hunt happening right here in town!
We’ve hidden 15 turkeys in the windows of 15 local businesses, and it’s your mission to find them all! Each turkey has a trivia question for you to answer but remember, don’t take the turkey!
👉 Here’s how to play:
1️⃣ Use the clues in the image to figure out which businesses are hiding a turkey.
2️⃣ Visit each business and find the turkey in the window.
3️⃣ Answer the trivia question on your game sheet (available at City Hall or by downloading it from this post).
4️⃣ When you’ve found all 15 and answered every question, turn in your completed form (with your name and phone number) to City Hall or email it to bemerick@pittsfieldil.org
to be entered into a prize drawing!
📅 The hunt runs from November 15th through December 1st!
