Pot o’ Gold Hunt Brings Record Participation and 40 Lucky Winners

Published

on

This year’s 5th Annual Pot o’ Gold Hunt was the biggest and best yet! The free, family-friendly community event, held March 7–17, saw record participation and the highest number of completed map turn-ins to date.

Organized by the Jig ‘n’ Jive Dance Studio, with enthusiastic support from National Media Services, Main Street businesses, and several other local favorites, the Pot o’ Gold Hunt brought families together for a fun, outdoor treasure hunt through the heart of downtown.

A huge thanks goes out to the many local businesses who donated prizes. With their generous support, Jig ‘n’ Jive was able to create 40 prize bundles for participants of all ages—and that means 40 lucky winners!

The prize drawing took place on Friday, March 21, with the help of the always-animated Crazy Wyllie from C&C Frozen Treats. A few highlights from the map-pulling festivities, including photos and videos, are available on the Jig ‘n’ Jive Dance Studio’s Facebook page.

Participants who won can pick up their prizes during the studio’s regular business hours, or reach out directly to arrange an alternate time or location for pickup.
