I think it's cool too Joan - we really like the First Fridays and I know it helps local businesses.

Roger - not sure I'll be able to do it...

Gayle, I attened a similar thing when I was in radio - we took folks to Cancun ( with Alaska Airlines) and we competed in a photo scavenger hunt designed to promote tourism.

Hi Debb,

Good blog and I really like the marketing idea the downtown Camas merchants have by using the scavenger hunt as a tool to draw in customers.

I hope you folks had a great Easter. Did you get to soend time with your grand kids?

Hi Debb. Really good idea to get folks downtown! I think some communities around here should take a page from Camas playbook.

Hey all - glad you like the concept - I do too. The folks at the Downtown Merchants association are a creative bunch. But then, their livlihood depends on traffic, so there is a lot of incentive. Personally, I prefer the small shops of Camas to the mall or larger box stores. I'll be visiting each of YOUR blogs today. Thanks for the visit, time and comments. I appreciate each one.

Hi Debb,

The Photo Scavenger Hunt sounds like a lot of fun! I'm curious to know how it all turned out. Your area has such a charming blend of creative people and I'll bet everyone had fun too. This is a great way to get involved in the community and meet people too.
