TREASURE HUNT
The treasure has been found and verified by The Chamber!
It was located behind a shutter at the old location of the Rainbow City Pet Clinic.
The winners will be announced at the Chocolate Festival on April 2nd.
Clue #2! - March 10, 2011
Oh woe to those who tested my grit
I challenge you, find it, oh mighty wit.
The treasure you're seeking is part of the past
Some businesses thrive, while others don't last.
1ST CLUE - March 3rd, 2011
“I believe the loot in 2010 was located much too soon. The fun of looking is much enhanced if found by a “picaroon”. So “bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble, I hope will have you seeing double”.
