 SEARCH AUBURN FOR THE NUTTY SQUIRREL JULY 1-11, FOR A CHANCE TO WIN!
Scamper around Auburn’s parks and trails in search of the elusive squirrel, who’s packed his bags and is ready for a sizzlin’ summer! This nutty squirrel will be hidden in various parks and trails in Auburn, beginning Thursday, July 1 through Sunday, July 11. Find the squirrel, have a chance to win prizes and have a blast while doing it!
This is a safe and FREE event for families, Seniors, our Specialized Recreation Community or anyone looking for an opportunity to get outside and get active in an outdoor setting.
***Since this event is held over eleven days, it is important to leave the squirrels hidden in their location, so they are safe from mowers and other maintenance equipment. Please don’t take or move the squirrels, so everyone can enjoy this activity.
