My Dearest Lucy,
Such news to share! The Town Council has just met, and put me in charge of this year’s scavenger hunts! I am sure that I have mentioned them in the past, but I shall save you searching for past letters, and tell you straight what I am working on! I am to make 2 different hunts, so shall explain them separately!
The first hunt will be one suitable for children, comprised of rhyming riddles that they must solve. This hunt will be available at the Children’s Activity Tent on the day of the festival (August 2nd , 3rd, & 4th 2014). Children can work with their families to solve the riddle, and travel the length of the village in order to find out answers that they then record. Once they have all the answers, they can bring the completed sheet back to the Children’s Activity Tent and will have a chance to dig for a piece of buried treasure to keep for themselves! Now, I must work hard at my rhymes - not much rhymes with Pirate!
The second hunt is to be designed for adults. Last year’s contest involved solving riddles and taking a portrait of the answer, but I think this year I will take it in a different direction! This year’s contest will be comprised of a list of Piratical things that must be found, the answers again supplied back to us in portrait form. In fact, I shall come up with 3 things for each letter of the alphabet that my questors must find! Prizes shall be awarded for the most complete set of answers, and for the best overall photograph.
Last year’s contest was won by Sylva Marsh, who supplied us with the pictures that I have featured here! We shall who wins this year! I so look forward to seeing the festival through the eyes of someone else!
Affectionately,
Anthea
