Fircrest FUN for children 10 years and under.
This is Murphy.
He needs your help. He’s asking the children of Fircrest, ages 10 years and younger to help him.

It’s almost time to HOP to It! Murphy’s friends will be hiding around Fircrest THIS Thursday (April 1st) through Saturday (April 3rd). Murphy needs YOUR help to find them and get his special message. The Fircrest FUN begins at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services (1251 Regents) on April 1st (No joke! 😉) Check in between 9 am and 5 pm to pick up your bunny ears and clue sheet.* Complete the task and get a goody bag and a chance to win a prize basket and a personal visit from the Easter Bunny on Sunday at 1pm. *

* Only Fircrest residents are eligible for the drawing.

Murphy’s friends have a special message for him. Search for Murphy’s friends hidden around Fircrest. Each friend has a letter of the message. Find each friend, then unscramble the letters to solve the message for Murphy.

* while supplies last

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a group event. Follow these simple guidelines. Children should be out with their responsible adult who is in their family/household. Please make sure to use proper social distancing (at least 6 feet) when encountering others on your quest. Be safe.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY MEDALLION MADNESS
2021-03-17 | City of Fircrest, Fircrest, WA, 98466, United States
On St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) we will hide 100 limited edition Fircrest Medallions around our community. They will be hidden in public areas around the City of Fircrest, including the Parks,
There is only one RULE: Please do NOT keep more than ONE medallion.
This will be on an honor system. One medallion per household will allow more community members a chance to find one. This event is all about getting outdoors to have some fun!
The DETAILS

Take your medallion to our sponsor, OPTIMUM Physical Therapy, 1017 Regents Blvd., to receive your bag o’ GOLD chocolate candy coins.** (You will be able to keep your medallion.)
On the back of your medallion you’ll find a number. All the medallions will be numbered 1-100. One special number has been chosen in advance and the person who finds it will win the special prize basket donated by OPTIMUM Physical Therapy! You’ll find out if you have the special medallion once you arrive at OPTIMUM.
AND there’s more! The Fircrest Kiwanis Club has donated a real ‘pot o’ gold coins’ ($50 value)! They will draw another number from those “hunters” who have checked in with their medallion. The winning number will be drawn on Sunday, March 21st.

*Masks are required to enter the OPTIMUM Physical Therapy office to redeem your prize.
*Prizes must be redeemed before April 2, 2021.
