Sept. 12: APA/YPT Scavenger Hunt

August 8, 2015 / Abigail Poses / Comments Off on Sept. 12: APA/YPT Scavenger Hunt

Saturday, September 12, 2015

Hunt from 12 PM – 3 PM; Scoring and Post-Hunt Happy Hour from 3 – 5 pm

$7 for members of APAPA or YPT; $10 for non-members

Grab your SEPTA pass, lace up your shoes, and join us for our SECOND ANNUAL Photo Scavenger Hunt!

Meet us in the lobby of 1234 Market Street, outside of the SEPTA Store at 12pm to pick up your clues and begin the hunt. You’ll have until 3pm to travel to as many locations on the list as you can and take a photo with your team. Teams are capped at 4 members. No team? Don’t worry–register as an individual and we’ll set you up with a team at the beginning of the event.

Some clues will be in Center City and others will be far away–but everything is reachable via SEPTA, and, of course, your team will earn more points for the locations that are farther away and more difficult to reach.

Your input will help shape the focus of our group and upcoming events. If you can’t make the event, but still want to be involved, you take our survey or join us on social media.

*Yes, you read that right… an urban themed sing-a-long! You are welcome to sing them yourself or leave it to the professionals. Jeff, the Tavern’s talented pianist, will be taking requests all night. On the Facebook Event, we’ve started a list of our favorites so he has time to prepare (e.g. “We Built this City on Rock and Roll”, The Trolley Song, and maybe even the Simpson’s Monorail Theme).
