#HogsbackCelebrations Scavenger Hunt #snowhuntThis year we will be hosting a village wide scavenger hunt (#snowhunt) to ensure that everybody, who will be visiting our little village, will have as much fun as possible, while getting to know our little piece of paradise a little bit better.....and winning some awesome prizes! It will also raise some much needed funds for one of our worthwhile charities, Jikani. So make sure that you enter!!
How is it going to work?The hunt will be a challenge (#snowhunt) running for 48 hours, starting from 12 noon on Friday, ending at 12 noon on Sunday. To enter will cost you a mere R50. To be the ultimate winner, you have to collect the most points .

As there are quite a lot of items, taking you all over the village, you won't be able to finish all the #snowhunt items in time. You also can't be at all the events at the same time! Don't worry though!! All entries (even if you have not completed/handed in your scavenger hunt) will still be eligible for great prizes in our #snowhunt draw of over R50 000 worth of prizes!
How do you enter?You can enter (register) for the #snowhunt any time during the 48 hours. The #snowhunt starts at Jikani (no 1 on the #wintercelebrations map). Once you have paid your R50 and filled in your registration details, you will get a #snowhunt number. You have to use this number EVERYWHERE all over the village, and include it in all your activities, photos, etc (e.g. #snowhunt #0230Frostie --> the hashtag + your huntnumber and name). Your friendly host may also have already printed a #snowhunt for you, you must just come and register at Jikani to be in the competition!!
