PLYMOUTH, NH – The Central NH Chamber of Commerce (CNHCC) is bringing back its unique road rally/scavenger hunt fundraiser on Saturday, May 18, 2024.
The Heart of 603 Scavenger Hunt, presented by Meredith Village Savings Bank, has a twist–it takes competitors on the road. Teams start the event at Legion Speedway in Wentworth and follow written, numbered instructions to complete an easy driving route through the CNHCC service area, solving puzzles, visiting member businesses and finding items along the way that relate to the “Heart of 603.” The event concludes with an awards ceremony and celebration at Tenney Mountain Resort in Plymouth.
Registration is just $50 per team with proceeds supporting the non-profit work of the Chamber in advocating for, connecting and empowering entrepreneurs, business owners and organizations in Central NH. There’s no limit on the number of members per team; however, all teams must include at least two adults, and the entire team must fit in one vehicle and use that single vehicle throughout the event.
Coffee and baked goods will be provided at the start, bottled water will be provided for teams to take on the course and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks will be served at the finish. Participants will have the opportunity to purchase lunch at the post-event celebration and there will be a cash bar for team members 21 and older.
First, second- and third-place teams will receive trophies, and all participants will receive tickets for a door prize raffle featuring prizes donated by CNHCC member businesses.
“We’re really excited to offer a fundraising event that’s completely different from the usual galas, golf tournaments and silent auctions,” noted Matty Leighton, CNHCC’s executive director. “It’s accessible to people of all abilities, and most importantly it’s so much fun! This competition is perfect for friends, families with children ages 10 and up or colleagues–just about anyone can do it and have a great time.”
Team registration is open at www.centralnh.org/heart-of-603-scavenger-hunt/. Supporting sponsorships are also available.
