Elf hunt winners announced
WITH Christmas now over for another year, Michelle Elijah is reflecting on the success of the Christmas elf hunt while congratulating the 20 winners.
Ms Elijah said over 120 entry forms were handed out during the festive event, which was held over two weekends.
“The Christmas elf hunt was a lot of fun, held in early December to coincide with extended trading and Christmas activities along Manifold Street,” she said.
“Children could find five elves on four different days in participating businesses after solving the elf clues.
“Congratulations to all 20 children who won a $50 voucher from each participating business.
“We had winners from Colac, Warrnambool and Mt Gambier as well as Camperdown.
“The new look treasure hunt was well received – one kid completed all four hunts, which was awesome.”
A total of 86 entries were returned over the four days, with the hunt held from Friday, December 5 – Sunday, December 7 and again on Saturday, December 13.
Ms Elijah thanked everyone who supported the elf hunt.
