Keys released into the Wild!
Keys were set free into the wild in Highland Park, in Strong Memorial Hospital, in the 19th Ward, and at Rochester General Hospital.
Look for keys tomorrow in the 19th Ward, around the Ford Street Bridge, in Greece, and in Pittsford. And don't forget that our Sponsors will be putting out new keys each day in their stores.
And we are Off
Got up early this morning to meet Wendy from R-News at the Tops Friendly Markets on West Avenue at 5:45 am to film a few spots for their newscast today. We were originally scheduled for the Live Van, but got bumped for Senior Professional Golf. Now we will get a couple of edited spots, which will be great. A few loyal fans turned out to witness the big event!
Then it was back to Tops at 8:00 an for the OFFICIAL launch. The initial run of Clue sheets and keys were distributed to Sponsors. Tops is having 5000 of the clue sheets printed up later today and they will be available at all the Sponsor stores. We will add the clues to this web site later today.
Kathleen Graim from Tops Friendly Markets corporate office and Craig Werner, Store Manager of the West Avenue store met with Dan DeMarle for the kick-off. They announced that in addition to all the other prizes for the Hunt, all the keys would be winners. Bring any key you find to the West Avenue Tops Friendly Markets and it will get you a FREE loaf of their Baker's Oven French Bread.
Treasure Hunt start in the morning
Hard to believe, but the 19th Ward Treasure Hunt is about to begin. At 5:45 am tomorrow morning (Wednesday May 21, 2008) we are being met by R-News at the TOPS Friendly Markets on West Avenue in the 19th Ward for a pre-start News Conference. They plan to get our story into their news cycle beginning at 6:00 am.
HOW DO THEY DO IT SO QUICKLY???
Then at 8:00 am, it is back to TOPS for the OFFICIAL 19th Ward Treasure Hunt kick-off. We will announce the rules and hand out the first clue sheets. Check back on this web site later in the day to find the clues here as well. Our Clue Creators have come up with a devilishly clever Hunt for this year. I wonder if anyone will figure it out??? That is what I thought about my Hunt last year and the first people figured it out in less than 2 days!! We'll just have to wait and see.
Keep coming back to this Weblog during the contest as I will try to keep it up to date with how the contest is going. Also, please post comments here to let me and others know what you think of the 19th Ward Treasure Hunt.
