The Great Petaluma Treasure Hunt

Put on those thinking caps and running shoes because the Great Petaluma Treasure Hunt is back for its third year on Saturday, August 20 from 2:00 to 5 p.m.!  The Petaluma Downtown Association has teamed up with Mastermind Treasure Hunts for an afternoon of outdoor adventure and problem-solving to benefit the Butter & Egg Days Parade, one of the community’s best loved events.

 

Prepare yourself for an action packed afternoon!  You’ll assemble a team of four of your smartest and fastest friends or family members and assemble them in Theatre Square.   In order to win the glory, and bragging rights, your team will have to pool their collective brainpower to solve fun and challenging clues.  They’lll take you all over Downtown on a mad hunt for the next bit of information to help solve those clues.  Fabulous first, second and third place prizes await those clever teams that solve the most clues in the fastest time.

As it is a fundraiser for Butter & Egg Days Parade, costumes will not only be allowed but awarded!  Creativity is the key here, relate your costume to Butter, Eggs, Cows, Petaluma Heritage, Parade Themes or what-have-you.  Prizes will be awarded to the best Butter and Egg themed team costumes and the best team name!

Like the parade itself, The Great Petaluma Treasure Hunt is a great opportunity for all ages to participate in a community event.  A participant in last year’s Treasure Hunt said it best that every team member including their 11-year-olds brought special skills to help solve the puzzles.

 

Theatre Square will host live music following the hunt making for a full day of outdoor fun in downtown Petaluma.

 

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the event, a special discount code can be found on the Petaluma Downtown  Association Facebook page.  You can find out more or purchase tickets online at www.petalumadowntown.com.   Just click on the Great Petaluma Treasure Hunt logo!  Day of signups begin on August 20 at 1:00 p.m. by the fountain in Theatre Square  (151 Petaluma Blvd S.) and the race begins at 2 p.m.
