Looking for something to do during the ‘Dog Days of Summer’ that’s COVID-19 safe?

Reach Child and Youth Development Society has an outside, physically distanced event planned in Delta called Cruising for Clues – a Summer Scavenger Hunt.

Here is an excuse to take your favorite ride out for a drive or get your car club together for a safe activity! It’s affordable at $30 per vehicle and flexible with four dates to participate: Aug. 27 to 30.

Participants can purchase a ticket on any of the dates and cruise for clues in South and North Delta on the date that suits them best. All those who get most answers correct will be entered into a prize draw to win the grand prize of backyard barbecue fixings for six people from Newmans Fine Foods with your choice of burgers and your favourite beverages from Four Winds Brewing Company. There will also be 2 runners up prizes – $50 gift cards for Starbucks and Boca Grande Donut Shop. Visit: https://cruisingforclues.eventbrite.cato purchase tickets.All participants will also receive a McDonald’s ice cream cone courtesy of Ladner or Tsawwassen McDonald’s restaurants when they show Eventbrite proof of purchase for the event.

“We thought the idea of a car rally was a great way to create a fun outdoor team/family activity in the safety of your very own personal bubble,” said Reach Foundation Director Jeff Scott. “However, we needed to find a way to maintain the urgency, excitement and competition of the traditional car rally, but with the social distancing we need to keep our families safe. As a result, we thought teams could track their time, items found and progress independently, and submit electronically.

“We wanted as many people to participate as possible, so we eliminated the group finish area and encouraged further separation by holding the event over several days. Teams can now participate at a time which suits them best within their comfort zone and results will be reconciled after the event. Our family is excited to be able to get out and participate in this unique fundraiser for Reach.”
