Shrimpfest Great Golf Cart Scavenger Hunt

The heat didn’t deter the scavenger hunt teams from coming out to test their detective skills on Saturday, June 18, at the Seadrift Chamber of Commerce Golf Cart Hunt. With twelve teams participating, people of all ages tried to find objects around the town. There were teams like “Czechs on the Prowl” to “Puppy Monkey Baby” buzzing around enjoying the challenge.

In the end, two teams ended with the top scores. First place went to the ““Blue Ninjas with a score of 275 and second went to “Find the Flamingo” with 265.

There will be another scavenger hunt in December, so come join in on the fun!
