There may have been some yeti spottings in Sparta recently as we’re gearing up for this year’s community scavenger hunt, Yeti on the Loose! This fun winter activity is a great way to get out of the house and explore Sparta businesses. We held a similar event last year, where people found penguins. One penguin finder, Shari, said that the hunt “was such a fun activity” and many of the businesses she visited “turned out to be hidden gems!”
We are excited to bring it back this year with yetis as the critter to find! But the excitement doesn’t stop with finding the yetis, because every yeti you find gets you an entry into a drawing for Sparta Bucks. We will have two drawings in February, each drawing two lucky winners for the chance to get $100 in Sparta Bucks! But wait, there’s more! The form you fill out for finding yetis will include a question about making a purchase. If you made a purchase at that business, then you will get entered into a secondary drawing for a Yeti brand cup!
Participating is easy! Find the most updated list of Yeti on the Loose businesses on our website at spartachamber.com or on the handout at our office. Go around to the listed locations and find the yeti. Nearby will be a QR code for you to scan and fill out. Indicate on that form if you made a purchase and submit it for an entry into the drawings. If QR codes aren’t your thing, then just check off the yetis you found using our handout and turn it in to our office! Each yeti you find and each purchase you make is another entry into the drawing(s) so, make sure to shop local and find as many yetis as you can this month!
Since our theme this year is yetis, of course, we had to bring Bumble around to some local businesses! He had a great time finding books at the Book Pile, shopping at Blondie Blossom, trying a doughnut from Tom’s Bakery, and more. So, don’t be alarmed if you hear about some yeti sightings in Sparta, instead, get out and join the fun!
