Put on your
detective caps and come out to the Jefferson County Trails system for the second
annual Jefferson County Trails Council (JCTC) Scavenger Hunt. The Jefferson County Trails system will play host
to this all-ages event from May 28 to July 1, 2016.
Participants
will collect punches at 10 locations along the trail to be entered in drawings
for prizes from AJ’s Bicycle Shop, Brown’s Shoe Fit, a Fitbit Charge, The Sweet
Spot, and Ila in Fairfield. Drawings for
prizes will take place the evening of July 1 at Central Park during Fairfield 1st
Fridays Art Walk.
This event is
a great way to get out and see all the trails in Fairfield and Jefferson County
have to offer. “We have placed the
punches at ten noteworthy locations along the trails”, said JCTC Chairman
Stephen Pedrick. Whether you are a local
who knows the trails like the back of your hand, or a visitor from out of town,
this event is sure to please.
At least 550
individuals participated in the 2015 scavenger hunt, with nearly 120 finishing
the hunt a year ago. “Last year, it was
a full time job keeping punch cards stocked at each kiosk”, said JCTC Treasurer
Bob Hunerdosse.
Participants
can pick up scavenger hunt punch cards at AJ’s Bicycle Shop (123 North Court Street),
trailhead kiosks, Fairfield Recreation Center, and MUM Recreation Center. Completed punch cards should be returned to
AJ’s Bicycle Shop.
The 30-plus
mile trails system is an asset to Fairfield and Jefferson County. The Scavenger Hunt will take participants on
much of the trails system, but as Pedrick adds, “our hope is this event will
inspire people to explore more of the trails in Fairfield.”
This event is
sponsored by: AJ’s Bicycle Shop, Jefferson County Health Center, and the
Jefferson County Trails Council.
