Mayor’s Youth Council and DDA to Sponsor Downtown Scavenger Hunt

The 2021-22 Mayor’s Youth Council (MYC), in conjunction with the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), are pleased to announce the Downtown Runaround Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, March 26^th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in downtown Cheyenne. This is a free event that is open to the public. Children under 16 are asked to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

This event will support local businesses through public participation. The community is encouraged to solve the clues written by the Mayor’s Youth Council and local businesses that describe several of the local downtown businesses. Each clue will lead participants on a hunt to six (6) downtown locations. The Mayor’s Youth Council encourages event participants to learn more about each business on the clue card and to think of locally owned businesses for their future shopping needs.

On March 26^th participants are invited to stop by the Cheyenne Depot lobby at 10:00 a.m. to begin the scavenger hunt by picking up clue cards from Mayor’s Youth Council representatives. As each clue is solved, participants must visit each location and have each business mark off the clue that corresponds to their business. To be eligible for a prize, the clue card must be completed by having all six (6) businesses stamp. Upon completion of the clue card, the card should be returned to Mayor’s Youth Council at the Cheyenne Depot lobby. Prizes will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis for the first 20 individuals or groups who return their completed card to Mayor’s Youth Council staff in the Cheyenne Depot lobby. The first place prize is a $100 gift card to the Rib and Chop House, second place prize is a $50 gift card to 307 Roots, third place is a $25 gift card to Flippers, and 4^th-20^th place will each receive a $5 gift card to various downtown businesses.

All clues lead to a business within the DDA district lines.
