Holiday Magic Street Scramble Starts November 2007

Holiday Magic Street Scramble

November 2007

The annual Holiday Magic street festival on Upper Queen Anne will be Friday, December 7th from 3:00pm to 7:00pm from Galer to McGraw streets.

New this year for the month of November will be the Holiday Magic Street Scramble. A Street Scramble is similar to a scavenger hunt, but instead of hunting for things, you will be asked to answer questions about each of the businesses participating in Holiday Magic.

How It Works:

• Pick up your question and answer form at any participating Holiday Magic business.
• Fill out the form by answering all of the questions correctly. You have the whole month of November to do this.
• Turn in your form to Blue Highway Games at 2203 Queen Anne Ave. N. by 3:00pm the night of Holiday Magic.
• At 6:00pm, right before the Christmas tree lighting at Bethany Presbyterian, 10 winners will be randomly drawn.
• Those with the correct answers will win gift certificates from select local businesses.*

So go check out all of the great businesses Upper Queen Anne has to offer, play the Street Scramble game, and win great prizes!

*Must be present to win.
