2013 HALLOWEEN FUN AT
WINTER RANCH
WINTER RANCH
Winter Ranch and Trophy Gardens do a
combined Halloween event since neither park is full for the season yet.
10:00
AM - SCAVENGER HUNT
Those of us interested in doing the Scavenger Hunt,
met in Friendship Hall at 10 AM this
morning. Our Activity Director, Lynn,
met us there with the rules for the hunt.
She handed us out two pages with pictures of items that are either in
Winter Ranch or Trophy Gardens and then we
were let loose on golf carts to try to find the items. She was a bit tricky and the pictures are in
black and white which also makes it difficult.
We were the first ones back but, we had given up hope of finding the
last two items. Most people found them all. The next participants
that came in the door found them all.
The winners of the $10 prize were from Trophy Garden.
