Last heads-up before the 3rd Annual Art and Seek!!
ART & SEEK STARTS TOMORROW MORNING!
Some time before 07:00, this $450 sculpture will magically appear somewhere in the Theler Wetlands Trail System!
The park hours are Dawn to Dusk and the hunt will be ON!
If it isn't found on Tomorrow, clues will start going out bright and early Sunday until it IS found!
If you find this sculpture, you get to keep the model of this Monumental peace forever!
LOCATION:
The Theler Wetlands Nature Preserve in BELFAIR, WASHINGTON
https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mary-e-theler-wetlands-nature-preserve
RULES OF THE GAME:
1. NO DOGS or bikes. They are not allowed in the nature preserve.
2. BE RESPECTFUL. This is a nature preserve. Other people are there for the solitude and quiet; please don't spoil it for them. No yelling and screaming. (If this becomes a problem, this event won't happen again (and next time MORE ARTISTS are planned!))
3. STAY ON THE TRAILS. The sculpture will be very near the trails, albeit camouflaged in some way.
4. NO RUNNING. Speed will not be your friend! You will never find the sculpture if you're not observant... You might even see some amazing birds and animals as you look around!
5. NO FIGHTING! On the off chance 2 or more people find the sculpture at same time, there will be a solution attached to the sculpture! (This could come more into play if it isn't found Saturday and hints begin on Sunday.) This also means you could do this with a friend and let THE SCULPTURE decide who gets it! π
The actual sculpture is pictured here! It's appropriately 10" high & not too heavy, so you can carry it over your head like you just won a 1st prize trophy!
************************************
EXTRA DETAILS & HELPFUL HINTS:
β On the map, the red lines are every trail in the preserve... the sculpture is along one of them.
β The art will NOT be sitting in the middle of a trail.... That would be boring!
β On the other hand, it will NOT be buried under a 2 foot deep pile of leaves.
β If your eyes look at its location AND you're paying attention, you will SEE IT without touching a thing!
β IT IS NOT SIGNED! But my studio is a 1/2 mile up hwy 3, and I will be waiting for you all weekend. I want to meet you and sign the sculpture! If you want to visit, now is your chance! My address:
23251 NE State Route 3, Belfair (Follow the long driveway down to the studio. )
β More hints will start Sunday at 8am!
May the odds forever be in your favor!
