The Cary Scavenger Hunt: Winners & Photos

The teams that competed in the 6th annual Cary Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, September 12, 2015.

Cary, NC — CaryCitizen had our highest turn-out ever for our sixth annual Cary Scavenger Hunt – 63 teams registered to play and discover clues placed all over Cary.

6th Annual Cary Scavenger Hunt

The adventure started at the Page-Walker Arts & History Center.

Breakfast was provided by The Richards’ Advantage McDonald’s, Toast Cafe, Edible Arrangements, Relay Foods and Once in a Blue Moon Cafe.

A record number of teams signed up in advance to play and checked-in with us by 9:30. They were then given their clue books and began to strategize to use their time wisely. All teams had to return by 1:30 pm to have their scores tallied.

Due to predicted inclement weather Saturday for afternoon, we made a move to hold our finish-line festivities inside Cary’s Town Hall right next door.

Hilarious Team Photos

For the first time ever, teams uploaded photos from the field to a secure email address. We have some hilarious photos to share of their adventures.
