Take a Summer Scavenger Hunt in Bucks County

Find the answers to 14 questions in parks throughout Bucks County, and you will get a chance to win a sailboat or a digital video camera.

The Bucks County Recreation Council and Visit Bucks County wants everyone in the county to know how fun and special the county's parks really are, and they will give away a boat to prove it.

From now until Labor Day, county residents can go on a scavenger hunt through 11 parks and three visitors centers and find the answers to 14 clues. The more answers you get, the more chances you have to win either the grand prize of a Hunter Xcite sailboat, donated by Robin Kemmerer of Robin Kemmerer Real Estate, or a new digital video camera.

Getting one to four answers right gives you one chance at the prize, five to 10 answers are worth two chances and 11 to 14 answers equal three chances at the prizes.

Follow this link for the scavenger hunt form, or you can pick one up at one of the participating municipal parks or Bucks County visitors center. Once completed, they can be returned to the offices or mailed to:
