Kleman-Ritter team wins Weird Bluffton Scavenger Hunt
How did you do in the Weird Bluffton scavenger hunt?
Thanks for a contest created by Bluffton resident Ron Headings, the Icon invited viewers to find the location of 17 items in which clues were provided.
Each of the items could be seen within the boundaries of:
• Riley Street on the northeast
• Riley Creek on the southeast
• Kibler Street on the southwest
• Spring Street-Campus Drive on the northwest
The winning team consists of Travis, Elisa, Tayton, Thayne, Keyrsten and Kyson Kleman and Aimee Ritter. This was the first team to enter with the most correct answers. The team wins a 14-inch, 1-item pizza for pick up from Padrone’s Pizza in Bluffton.
In a close second were Mary Ina, Don and Sunita Hooley. In third were Clyde and Janie Wireman.
Current contest underway: Send the Icon a photo of you wearing a mask. All photos emailed to [email protected] by 5 p.m. Friday will be entered in a random drawing. Prize is a 14-inch, 1-item pizza for pick up from Padrone's.
