The Peppermint Bear Scavenger Hunt
A family favorite during the Christmas season. Families can help Momma Peppermint search for her lost cubs in the downtown area. Pick up an entry form at the Visitors Center or any of the participating merchants on Main Street, visit at least 12 of the 27 merchants, and search for the lost cub in the store. Fill out the form and drop it in Peppermint Bears mailbox at the Visitors Center at 201 S. Main Street. It is a fun family activity for the family but also gets you out to view the many fascinating light decorations in the merchants stores and town. You can download the Peppermint Bear Brochure here.
