Come to the NationsWEST Field House on June 19th for a family scavenger hunt. Sign-in starts at 12:30 pm, and the hunt begins at 1:00 pm. Follow the clues to the destinations, and write down each summer-themed word on your scavenger sheet. When you’re finished, come back to the Field House with the completed sheet for a treat and free time on the turf until 4:30 pm.
As many of the scavenger hunt locations will be out of walking distance, all children must be accompanied by an adult. Transportation to and from locations around the Battlefords will be the responsibility of the accompanying adult. Pre-registration for this family event is required. Registration is by calling 306-445-1790.
