Description

The Grinch Candy Cane Hunt is an outdoor seasonal scavenger hunt held at Bond Park designed to engage families in holiday fun. Participants race to collect candy canes hidden throughout the park before the Grinch can turn them green. This event offers an active way for community members to enjoy the outdoors while celebrating the spirit of the season through a competitive and festive game. Guests will start the adventure by creating a small holiday keepsake craft to take home. Following the hunt, attendees gather for hot chocolate and a surprise visit from a special guest. Those who locate the rare specialty candy canes will receive additional prizes for their sharp eyes. This event is perfect for families and children looking for an energetic holiday experience in a local park setting. The atmosphere is lighthearted, community focused, and highly interactive for all ages. We encourage you to register soon to secure your spot for this unique seasonal celebration. Join your neighbors for a morning of searching, crafting, and warm refreshments to kick off your winter festivities.
