Families can pick up their Scavenger Hunt sheets at ArtsNatchez, (425 Main St.) or download it below and print it at home.

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 26th or Sunday, October 27th to pick out your OWN duck to take home!
