Join us on Saturday for our 8th Birthday Scavenger Hunt at Main Street Trade Days! 🎈🥳 Get ready for a FREE scavenger hunt that will have you exploring all of Main Street. We are hiding 8 images representing the number 8 in creative ways outside along Main Street. Your mission? Find one! 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️
8 lucky winners will snag a gift bag packed with amazing treats and treasures from our Main Street businesses and Visit La Porte TX. 🎁

How to play:
• Start your hunt along Main Street.
• Look for the hidden images. (Hints at the end of this post)
• Turn a found image into Junk Junkies (208 W Main Street) to collect your prize!

Some rules to follow:
• The hunt begins at 10 am on March 1!
• Only 1 find and prize per family. Leave some fun for the others. 😊

Don't miss out on the fun! Let's celebrate 8 years of community and shopping local.

Hint 1: A red shape with eight sides, where the road's flow divides.
Hint 2: There’s no better way to celebrate than with a sweet slice of this treat.
Hint 3: If you're thirsty and need a veggie boost, find the drink in a red bottle!
Hint 4: Look for a creature of the deep, with intelligent eyes.
Hint 5: Look for the food that's a classic for parties and gatherings, often delivered in a box!
Hint 6: Find the game where a number is wild and strategy is key.
Hint 7: Look for the bread that's meant to be split, filled with flavor, and then swiftly bite.
Hint 8: Find the music player from a bygone era, where songs rode on a loop of tape, rather than a disc.
