July 1 – 31

Scavenger Hunt

Taking place July 1 to 31, this year’s hunt will have families searching for “secret words” accompanying each of 33 custom-painted baseball banks placed in businesses, restaurants, library branches and other venues in the community. The scavenger hunt is a great way to explore businesses and restaurants. Scavenger hunt seekers will be visiting venues such as Al’s Café, Elgin Public House, Herb’s Bakery, KCT Credit Union and Elgin History Museum
