Each day we’ll have a variety of activities and events to participate in. For details on timing of each activity, be sure to check the Event Schedule.
Scrap Buster Quilt

Scavenger Hunt
Hosts: Sarah/Rochelle
We’re doing another Scavenger Hunt! Check out the fun list of items to complete for points toward our grand prize drawings on Sunday. Actions range from posting a photo, to helping a friend, to finishing a project… You’ll need creativity, endurance, and some healthy competitive spirit to rack up those points! Check out the list and start checking off items.
Since we can’t be together to validate tasks, we are asking participants to tally their own item completions on this spreadsheet. Please tally the number of tasks completed, we’ll worry about the points.
