It’s hunting season here at Colorado Springs Moms Blog- scavenger hunting, that is! Below you will find a series of hints for locations around town. Snap a quick picture of you or your kids (or a group shot together) at each location and post it to Instagram AND Facebook. Be sure to use #CSMBhunt and tag Colorado Springs Moms Blog (cosmomsblog) in each photo. Please post a separate pic for each scavenger hunt location. A slideshow of some of the pics will be posted on our blog once the hunt is over. {Those who participate in the scavenger hunt will be entered into a drawing to WIN a $10 Starbucks gift card!! You have until October 16th to complete the scavenger hunt.} Have fun bonding with your kiddos and exploring the town, and post away. Hunting season is officially open!
