SEARCH FOR THE SHAMROCKS

 Join us for this popular scavenger hunt adventure to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

SAVE THE DATE! FRIDAY AND SATURDAY  MARCH 19-20, 2021


Playing cards can be picked up at any participating business. Then visit each participating merchant on the island for a clue to find and to have your playing card validated. Once you have completed your playing card, register for the gift drawings which will be awarded on Facebook! Costumes are optional, but definitely add to the fun...

 We ask that all players keep social distancing in mind and wear your masks while participating. Sanitizing stations will be set up at each location as well. We are excited to host this fun event while keeping our players and community safe!

TRICK OR TREAT MAIN STREET 2021

 Dress up for Halloween and come trick or treat at participating Main Street Merchant locations up and down Chincoteague's Main Street and in Robert Reed Park. 


Locations that are participating will have a "Trick or Treat on Main Street" sign on their doors. This year we've expanded the event into Robert Reed Waterfront Park to allow more room for local merchants: businesses will have tables set up there to hand out candy! There will also be a Window Decorating Contest for the Main Street Merchants... (Stay tuned for the list of participating merchants as the event approaches). Social distancing in full effect.


More info is forthcoming, please contact Tabitha Borum at 757-790-9907.
