Pick up a Lucky Ducky Scavenger Hunt Kit starting today, Thursday, between 9 a.m. and noon at Family Strengths Network, 3540 Orange Street and join in the fun until Saturday, Sept. 26.
The Scavenger Hunt replaces FSN’s popular annual fundraising event which has taken place for many years but needed a different format this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each kit contains supplies for three STEAM duck launch crafts that will be demonstrated on Facebook by Los Alamos STEAM Lab, supplies for a duck hat craft, the Scavenger Hunt score card and business list as well as FSN stickers and sidewalk chalk to decorate for Lucky Ducky week at home.
The idea of the Scavenger Hunt is to visit online or in person as many of the businesses that are participating in the event between now and 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25, find a duck and share it by snapping a picture in person or a screenshot if on the web, post to your social media (we are on Facebook & Instagram) with a tag and the hashtag #LDD2020 and/or #LuckyDuckyDay2020.
Points are earned for each duck found online:
5 points for each duck you find online via the business website
10 points for each duck you find in-person at a participating location
20 points for making a purchase at that participating location. A snapshot of your receipt, just the date & location will suffice, must be included.
The winner will be announced on Facebook Saturday, Sept. 26 to wrap up the week’s festivities. with the winner announced on Facebook on Saturday, the 26th to wrap up FSN’s Lucky Ducky Week festivities. The most points recorded will receive a gift basket of goodies with around $100 of gift cards to local businesses. There will also be 2nd and 3rd place prizes. Score cards must be submitted by 9 p.m. Friday, Sept 25.
Donations to FSN may be made in person at FSN, on the Facebook page or through the website. For details go to https://www.lafsn.org/calendar/lucky-ducky-week/. You can earn a raffle ticket for each $5 donated and the drawing will be held Saturday, Sept. 26.
