Mohican Adventure Hunt enters third year

LOUDONVILLE — The Mohican Adventure Hunt kicks off Saturday at the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum in Loudonville. The adventure hunt is a hybrid scavenger hunt that sends teams racing across the Mohican area to discover landmarks, find rare items and complete tasks.

Mohican Adventure Hunt, a scavenger hunt-esque event and fundraiser for the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum is set for June 10. Pictured is last year’s winning team, The Henleys.

Each landmark, find or task is assigned a point value and teams must submit photographs or videos to prove they completed it. The first team to complete all tasks or the team with the most points at the deadline wins.

The first-place team will win a $125 cash prize, and second place will go home with a $50 cash prize. The cost to register is $40 per team (vehicle), with a discounted registration for members of the museum. The event kicks off at 10 a.m. and teams have three hours to complete their list of 50 tasks.

People interested in registering can do so on the museum’s website, crfmuseum.com/events, through Wednesday. Participants will need a vehicle and at least one smart phone to send in photos or videos proving completion of their tasks. The museum is also seeking volunteers to help keep score during the event.
