Starting November 29, participating businesses will display a hidden reindeer figurine
somewhere in their stores. Scavenger hunters will receive a list of participating businesses and
search for the reindeer at each location. Once a reindeer is found, hunters can get their Shop
Small Passport stamped by the business.

Participants who collect at least five stamps can redeem their passport at City Hall to be
entered into a raffle for gift baskets containing gift cards and merchandise from participating
businesses. Each set of five stamps collected earns an additional raffle entry. The scavenger hunt
ends on Monday, January 5, 2026. Raffle winners will be announced on Thursday, January 8,
2026
