Winter Drive-By Scavenger Hunt Set For Somerset County Families

SOMERSET COUNTY, NJ — Branchburg mother and dance and theater teacher Jaime Marie DelRocco is hosting yet another socially-distanced event, the Great Snowflake Adventure.

This free drive-by winter scavenger hunt will be held on Jan. 9 to 10 for families in Branchburg, Hillsborough, Somerville, Bridgewater, Raritan, Bound Brook and Manville.

Families interested in participating can send an email to jamerzandb@gmail.com with their street name and town by Wednesday, Jan. 6. Families are asked to get creative and make as many snowflakes as they would like to place on their windows, doors or anywhere visible outside.

A snowflake map will then be posted on The Adventures Of Jamerz And B by Friday, Jan. 8. Then families can drive around the towns to hunt for snowflakes. Families will then send photos of each snowflake they find on social media using the hashtag #jamerzandb. The family who posts and finds the most snowflakes wins a prize.

This is the 7th scavenger hunt DelRocco has organized since the pandemic hit. With a one-and-a-half-year-old at home, DelRocco needed to get creative to keep her son entertained.

Under her business name, The Adventures Of Jamerz And B, DelRocco began rolling out children's videos where she offered DIY arts and crafts families could do together at home and storytelling videos and now scavenger hunts.
