Virtual Scavenger Hunt

ENDS: Thursday, October 15 at 3:00 p.m.

The season for picnics has come and gone
But, someday we will be back on Aldrich Lawn
Instead of piles of BBQ and potato sack races
We want to see pictures of your smiling faces
So, charge your phones and practice safety measures
Your team could win some really neat treasures
