Oh, Bell, No! It’s A Family Scavenger Hunt!

Have you always thought your family has what it takes to outwit, outlast, and outplay other teams? Have you watched The Amazing Race and thought, "That should be me!" Good news, it can be. The Oh, Bell, No! Scavenger Hunt is the place to test your family's mettle and see if you can be the first to solve the clues, figure out the password, and get to the finish line. We promise this is not your mama's scavenger hunt (unless your name is Baer or Falco, in which case, this IS your mama's scavenger hunt). The route will be long and you will probably need a car to compete, although fast bike riders/marathon runners are welcome. Many will compete, but only one family will win the inaugural Oh, Bell, No! trophy and a prize package including 4 personalized winner's t-shirts. Limit of 2 adults per team.

Spots available: unlimited

Cost: $75 per family 

Eligible participants: Open to all
