DOWNTOWN SIDNEY ELF ON THE SHELF
SCAVENGER HUNT

The Elf on the Shelf® is a magical Christmas tradition recognized in households around the world. This year some of these magical scout elves will be sent from the North Pole by Santa and will land in Sidney by the Sea to be adopted by more than two dozen downtown Sidney businesses. Families are invited to explore downtown and find where these little scout elves have landed for a fun-filled, holiday scavenger hunt.
