The rules of the game are:
1. I will post the clues on September 1st at 8am here or you can message me, and I can send them to you directly.
2. Take a picture of you at the spot in the clue. You will have 5 pictures total when you are done. Please do not send any pictures until you have all 5. Plese send to 907-401-3858
3. Bonus points to win an extra if your picture has POW Health Network swag in it. I have T-shirts and bags if you haven't gotten one at one of our events.
4. The winner is the first person from any of our 8 towns to get me all 5 pictures at the right spot. I person per town.
5. If you want to do island wide, then there is 1 grand prize. You will need to send all 5 pictures from all 8 communities. 40 pictures total!
I hope you have fun in this event. Thank you, Sarah Vasser, for coming up with the idea and putting it all together. I will be updating winners as they happen, so everyone knows what is left. Happy hunting!
