https://www.facebook.com/BeaconRec/Beacon Rec is setting up a super "Great City of Beacon Scavenger Hunt" beginning July 14th. Kids will solve weekly clues to find pieces of the master puzzle. Beacon Rec will be advertising the Hunt (via newsletter, FB, & Instagram), and giving details on how kids can participate. Children can pick up their Letter De-coders at the Library and at the Rec Center. This will enable them to find the "letter clues" hidden around Beacon in order to decode the messages. Find the clue on the outside of the Library during Week 3 (after July 28th). After you do, check off the Mission and gain 100 points! Don't forget to finish this fantastic Scavenger Hunt.
