Duck Hunt: Halloween Scavenger Hunt
Bring your kids to Downtown Natchez for a Fun Search Activity!
Kids of all ages are invited to look for rubber ducks in the windows of our Downtown businesses. Can you find all the rubber ducks hidden in our downtown merchants’ windows?
Saturday, October 28 & Sunday, October 29, 2023
10:00am – 5:00pm
Families can pick up their Scavenger Hunt sheets at ArtsNatchez, (425 Main St.) or download it below and print it at home. Write down the name of the business where you found each one and bring back to ArtsNatchez to pick out your OWN rubber duck to take home! For more information, contact Robin Person at 662-515-0490.
Here’s How To Participate:
Pickup your Duck Hunt Sheet & Map at ArtsNatchez (125 Main St.) Or download it here!
- Follow the map on page 2 and start looking!
- As you find the ducks, write the name of each store on your sheet. Keep a sharp eye out; Not all of them are actually shaped like ducks!
- Find at least 45 ducks.
- Bring your completed sheet to ArtsNatchez between 10:00am – 5:00pm on Saturday, October 28th or Sunday, October 29th to pick out your OWN duck to take home!
