After the Holiday Season, many people tend to stay inside with the colder temperatures and winter like weather (maybe). The Downtown Bend Business Association is hoping to provide a fun scavenger hunt to get people out of the house and to Downtown!

“It’s a fun way to get people out of their houses and possibly into a Downtown store they might have never gone into before,” said Public Relations woman, Michaela Beechem. “It’s a way for our local business owners to meet locals in a fun way! We have sixty stores participating and it will be a lot of fun for people of all ages!”

The event will run from January 7th- February 7th. It will be a partnership with Mount Bachelor and their ski groups for the season. Each store will have a passport in their location with a list of all participating stores. You pick up the passport, find the ski figurine in each store with the hashtag, #DowntownBendSkiHunt. If you post the picture with the hashtag, you could be highlighted on the Downtown Bend Facebook page and Website.
