Put on your detective caps and come out to the Jefferson County Trails system for the third annual Jefferson County Trails Council (JCTC) Scavenger Hunt. The Jefferson County Trails system will play host to this all-ages event from May 27 to July 7, 2017.
Participants will collect clues at 10 locations along the trail to be entered in drawings for prizes including a Fitbit Charge. Drawings for prizes will take place the evening of July 7 at Central Park during Fairfield 1st Fridays.
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.
This year’s event features three new “location clues” which challenge scavenger hunt participants to scour a location for the answer to the clue. This new twist was added to bring more awareness of the features of the trail system, rather than focusing on finding the orange punches.
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.
