7th annual Kids Only Scavenger Hunt
It’s back and here’s how it works:
First, purchase a Kids Only Scavenger Hunt card at one of the Info Tents on site ($1). Then, answer the 10 questions on it. When you’re done, take the completed card to the CBC Television Tent on Hamilton Street to collect a cool prize!
There are only 150 cards available. Plus, you’ll have to read the program and wander around the festival site to answer all the questions, so be sure to wear comfy shoes and keep your eyes peeled!
