FRAMINGHAM, MA – Avoid cabin fever this holiday season! The City of Framingham Department of Public Works (DPW) and the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs Division have collaborated to create a socially distant scavenger hunt to help locate their lost Toy Soldiers and Snow People.

After a long quarantine nap, the Toy Soldiers and Snow People have come out of hibernation and are wandering around the City. We need your help finding them, to make sure they are ready to celebrate the holidays and ring in the new year!

Pieces of the scavenger hunt map will be released randomly throughout the month of December on the Scavenger Hunt Web Page, as well as the DPW and Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs Division’s social media pages, with their approximate locations. Four map sections total will be released throughout the month.

Families should use the map as a guide to locate a combined total of approximately 58 Toy Soldiers and Snow People! Make sure to keep track of their locations!

Once you have located our winter friends, submit your Scavenger Hunt Entry Form on the City website for a chance to win one of four prizes (two $25 gift cards to Target and two $25 credits towards a Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs Division Program Registration)! Entries must be received no later than Noon on Wednesday, December 30.

Four winners will be randomly drawn from the correct entries. Only one entry per family, please.
