2024 Addison Earth Day Scavenger Hunt
In honor of Earth Day, Addison invites you to join us on a scavenger hunt around town. Signs will be in place through May 13 and the deadline to submit your collage is 5pm on May 13.
Each clue will lead to a sign with a letter on one side and an Earth Day fact on the other.
When you decipher a clue and find a letter, take a photo with the letter side of the sign (please leave the signs in place so others can play too).
Once you locate all eight letters, arrange them in a collage and take a photo (click here for examples).
Submit the collage in the form below.
Once you complete the scavenger hunt and submit your collage, you will be entered for a chance to win some Addison Swag, including tickets to Taste Addison for a few lucky winners.

Clue One
Water, water everywhere, to wash my hands and wash my hair. Water is a very precious resource, so keeping it clean is important, of course! Addison stores its water in towers so high, they reach many stories into the sky. The next letter you seek you’ll find at a tower, by a work of art entitled The Golden Hour.
Clue Two
People come to Vitruvian Park to dance and hear tunes. They sit on outside seats where they can see the moon. At this amphitheater, a letter you will discover - another step closer to solving your puzzle you will uncover.
Clue Three
Behind the big white house where Addison’s mayor often sits, is a lazy river that during storms rages and spits. Near the bridge that crosses the creek, you’ll find the next letter to continue your streak.
Clue Four
Help clean a park or recycle bottles and cans, you can make a difference if you have a plan. In a large park where the fountains dance, is where the next letter takes its stance. In a field where dogs run and play, your Earth Day letter will be on display.
Clue Five
Steps with poems are this park’s shining star, but a beautiful sundial isn’t too far. Another Earth Day letter you will discover, so grab your buddy and see what you can uncover. Your journey takes you through a neighborhood, so to the residents please be good.

Clue Seven
The earth is our home, so blue and so green. So let’s do our part to keep the earth clean. Something else green, you’ll find on a trail.
