Leopold resident and Christmas sleuth Jenni Harper has become the first winner in Geelong council’s festive treasure hunt.
Jenni was “thrilled” to take home a hamper from Darriwill Farm, Highton, after cracking the code in the Greater Geelong Christmas Adventure.
“The prize hamper … is amazing and I can’t wait to get home and see what other goodies it contains,” she said on Tuesday.
“When this new activity launched, I had a great time looking at the various locations in the interactive map.
“Then, we jumped in the car and went and visited a number of locations near us to find the clues.”
Jenni is set for the festive season with her hamper containing a Christmas pudding, chocolates, yoyo biscuits, jams and relishes, wafers, liquorice, coconut ice and more.
The items come predominantly from greater Geelong and showcase the culinary variety of the region.
Locals still have time to crack the code and win one of the three hampers remaining (as of Tuesday) in the Greater Geelong Christmas Adventure.
The scavenger hunt includes 24 locations featuring Christmas trees, giant baubles and postcards, and chalk wall art with clues for a popular Christmas phrase.
Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher congratulated Jenni and encouraged locals to join the hunt in the new feature of Geelong council’s festive celebrations.
“I encourage people to get out and enjoy the fabulous decorations including the giant Christmas postcards and the 3D chalk art around the municipality,” she said.
