The Scavenger Hunt is On!

Join the Husky Hustle Scavenger Hunt!

Scavenger Hunt Clues

Clue 1

You start your adventure at the beginning of the trail, Cornstalks and hay bales will guide the way.... Can you find the paw prints hidden around the hay?

Clue 2

Spiders have eight legs, you have two. But all you need is ONE of the husky paws among the arachnid's silky glue.

Clue 3

Stuffed with hay and a shirt from a burlap bag. They were created to scare the crows that cry caw. But, don't be Afraid, for this is the crew who guards the husky paw.

Clue 4

Here a pumpkin. There a pumpkin. Everywhere there are pumpkins. But, which Jack-o-LANTERN comes with a pumpkin paw?

Clue 5

The hills have eyes. The grasses have eyes. Look with yours and set your sights, and you might find a glowing paw amongst the monster EYES!

Clue 6

Ever heard of the friendly ghost named Kasper? He was distantly related to Mrs. Kasper before he pulled up the sheets. Do you see any resemblance of these relatives? There you may find the paw you seek.

Clue 7

You made it to the end, and close is Halloween. Smile and say cheese as a pumpkin family and the final husky paw just might be seen.
