Cary, NC – It was a hot, hot day. But, the Cary Scavenger Hunt Teams were up to the challenge. With a Clue Book in hand, filled with 60 clues, teams spread out across Cary to earn points.

Culture Vultures

We sent them to learn more about the history of Cary, visit parks, sporting facilities, see local art, visit local businesses and community services. Having a clear strategy was a key element during the Hunt.

Hot Flash

When they arrived back at the new Cary Arts Center in the afternoon, this competitive bunch was ready for a party. Thanks to our Sponsors, we made sure they got one.

Hyper Hyenas

Our distinguished panel of judges pondered over our team’s answers and pictures with great enthusiasm. What a fun, fun day!
