Snow Globe Scavenger Hunt Kicks Off On Small Business Saturday

GREENPORT, NY — 'Tis the season for festivities in Greenport this weekend, as a Winter Snow Globe Scavenger Hunt kicks off on Small Business Saturday.

The 1st Annual Winter Snow Globe Scavenger Hunt is presented by the Greenport Business Improvement District.

"Bring the whole family and enjoy a great holiday activity!" the BID said. "Find the snow globes and match the businesses where you found them. Hand in completed forms — available for pick-up and drop-off at Blue Duck Bakery & Cafe and Harbor Pet — for a raffle ticket for our grand prize basket."

According to Nancy Kouris, owner of the Blue Duck Bakery Cafe and Greenport BID board member in charge of the Scavenger Hunt, more than 50 merchants and organizations will display over 100 snow globes for scavenger hunters to find and record on a special form.

"Find some, find them all and turn in for prizes for children or a chance to enter and win our grand prize raffle basket — for ages 21 and over – worth close to $1,000 in Greenport goods and services," she said.

The Scavenger Hunt runs through Dec. 19.

Saturday also marks the start of Greenport’ s Annual Winter Wonderland Design Contest, sponsored by American Beech and the Greenport BID. Participants can vote for their favorite design, presented by more than over 30 participating merchants, and also receive another chance to win the grand prize raffle basket. Voting is done online through a Q-code found on posters throughout the village.

That event ends on Dec. 31.

Lastly, anyone who spends $25 or more at a participating merchant will receive another chance to win the grand prize raffle basket, through Dec. 24.

“Following our successful Halloween event, the Greenport Village BID and its members are offering more holiday fun while requiring the public to be COVID compliant by wearing masks, social distancing and staying in small groups," Kouris said. "Our events can be done almost completely outside and over the course of three to four weeks. The village is beautifully lit up with decorations and lights and surely delivers a festive enjoyable shopping experience."
