Fall Harvest Scavenger Hunt: Words to Find

First the eye candy… Better known as what you can win if you play!

This lovely autumn basket:

Oh, so nice. In fact I would like to win this, but frankly, if I play, that might be considered cheating. That said I fully expect my smart Offbeat readers to do me proud; which means one of you should win.

Want the stats on how to win this cool basket and show us you can play detective with the best of them? The ever clever Deb from Simply Thrifty wrote some guidelines up for you to follow.

Read away:

“Remember going on scavenger hunts when you were a kid? Sometimes they were the most fun part of a social gathering – wasn’t it fun to be given a list and going off with your teammates to locate feathers, safety pins and purple crayons? b5Media’s Home and Dining Channel also remembers. What better way to reward our loyal readers than with a fun Fall Harvest Scavenger Hunt?

Here’s how it works:

On October 1st, participating Home & Dining blogs will post a list of words and the date that word is to appear in Home and Dining. Each day those words will appear on one of the participating blogs. It could be in a title of a blog post, it could be the post’s particular theme that day, or it could just be a word in a paragraph somewhere.

Contest participants will locate each word and write it down. On October 31st, the last day of your contest, send your words to Deb, from Simply Thrifty, at the email address listed below.

Here’s the rundown:

1. Words and rules will be posted to each participating Home & Dining blog on October 1st.
2. A list of participating blogs will be posted as well.
3. Each day, participants are to check out each participating blog to find which one hosts the day’s word. Sometimes the word will pop out at you, other times it won’t be so obvious.
4. After October 31st, send your lists to Deb at deborah.ng@b5media.com. Each list should list the word, day it appeared, and blog on which it appeared. Those who complete the scavenger hunt, or have the most entrants, will be entered into a drawing to win a gorgeous autumn gift basket. Entry cutoff date is November 7th.

We hope you enjoy participating in the Fall Harvest Scavenger Hunt. We’re having a blast planning it – and blogging it!”

Now secondly, I’m moving houses today and tomorrow (and maybe the 2nd too) so… if you have questions right away about the contest you can leave a comment here and hopefully my internet will be working and I’ll answer it. If you don’t hear back from me just hop on over to another Home & Dining blog and ask — all my blogging friends will be happy to answer any questions.

Even though I’ll be moving this blog will still be running thanks to the magic of the pre-post.

Remember to look for the words you need to hunt down tomorrow and good luck!

Necessary prize disclaimer: The Home & Dining channel loves the basket we picked as the prize; however if said basket is for any reason unavailable Home & Dining reserves the right to switch out this basket for one that is equally as cool.
