FCA scavenger hunt ends
The Foxboro Cable Access scavenger hunt concluded this month and culminated in a summer art event.
No stone was left unturned at the event: guests and employees decorated stones, painted folders and ate snacks in the kitchen.
“We were so grateful to the people who participated in the Summer Arts event,” said project co-chair Jen Krentzman. “My colleague, co-chair Fanny Mizhirumbay, and I were really pleased with how the scavenger hunt went. We are thinking about future adjustments to the event if we repeat it in the future.”
First, second and third place winners of the contest were rewarded with gift certificates to local restaurants thanks to Gunther Tooties, Foxboro House of Pizza Bar & Trattoria and The Common’s Neighborhood Eatery, neighboring members of the Foxboro Common Business Collaborative.
Until the end of the week, panels with photo examples will remain in shop windows and passers-by are invited to stop and take a look in the hope that they will join in next time.
