Cary, NC – Teams are gearing-up for next weekend’s BIG Cary Scavenger Hunt. We welcome our newest teams The Determined Detectives, CaryRealEstate.com, Riddle e-Racers, Fiddling Around, The Byrdson’s, Culture Vultures, and the Fantastic Four.
Make sure you don’t become clueless. Sign-up now to guarantee your team a spot and make sure you get an exclusive Cary Scavenger Hunt T-shirt.
How To Play
Once your team is registered, you will check in next Saturday, July 24th, at 9:00 a.m., at Koka Booth Amphitheatre. At 10:00 a.m., the bull horn is sounded and the teams are released!
Each team will be given a set of clues that will take them all over Cary. Each clue is given a point value. Clues include subjects like Cary history, visual arts, parks and recreation, town services and Cary businesses. Make sure to bring a digital camera or cell phone camera to document your hunt.
The teams with the most points win!
Earn Extra Points
We thought it would be fun to include a few extra points for our social-media savvy contestants.
Most of these bonus points involve mobile communications – apps you might use on your cell phones. If not, you have a week to make sure at least one member of your team is prepared.
Winner’s Loot – WOW!
Our First Place winners from the Adult Teams will win 10 VIP tickets to the REO Speedwagon/Pat Benatar show at Booth Amphitheatre on September 2, 2010. This winning team will get dinner in the VIP Tent and special seating just for you!
Our Family Team Winners will get a Private Party for 20 at “Movies by Moonlight” with dinner provided by Chick-fil-A of Waverly Place. This team can pick between movies like 2012, July 29th; Taming Of The Shrew, August 5th; New Moon, August 12th; or How To Train Your Dragon, August 19th.
We also have prizes to give away from The Carolina Railhawks, Courtyard Marriott, Bella Mia, O2 Fitness, SAS Championship, Larry’s Beans, Suzie Wolf Photography, and IHOP.
We don’t want to leave you clueless, sign-up for the Hunt today!

A hastag is a word or phrase after the pound sign, as in “#carycitizen”.

What about the facebook pictures?
You can’t tag a group/page like you can a person. @ tagging only works for status, not photo captions or comments.
Should we post the facebook pictures on Cary Citizen’s wall instead of our own profile (which is what’s listed above)?

You can post them on CC’s wall. Or, you can ‘@caycitizen’ in your status update.
