It's almost time for our annual 'Hide & Peep' on Racine's lakefront! Thanks to the Racine Art Museum for bringing Peeps to Racine & inspiring this scavenger hunt (watch their page too for special orange peep 'finders peepers!')
Here's how it works:
Throughout this weekend from sunrise to sunset --Friday 4/18, Saturday 4/19 & Sunday 4/20-- we will be hiding TWENTY (in honor of our 20th anniversary!) glass bunny peeps on Racine's Lakefront between Zoo Beach & North Beach.
We will post clues to our Facebook page to let you know when and hints of where to search. If you find it, it's yours <3
Please share your find by posting in the comments section of the peep you found so others know!
....and please stay off the dune grasses we won't hide there, be kind to each other out there... and if you happen to pick up garbage along the way, let us know with a photo or DM! You'll be entered into a special drawing to win something cool.
Last but not least, go see the Peep Exhibition at RAM...I saw it this morning and it's delightful as ever.
The photos below are three of the twenty peeps you might be lucky enough to find this weekend. Special thanks to Kara and our team of hiders for making this possible. Happy hunting! ... See MoreSee Less
