Sweetheart Scavenger Hunt
Before Cupid’s big day, he was enjoying a relaxing day by the pool at the Manchester Recreation Complex when he was called by his very irritated wife to come home and finish his chores. In Cupid’s hurry to get home to his wife, he misplaced some of his personal items at the Complex. On Saturday, February 13th, at 10:00 a.m. we will be forming a search party to find Cupid’s lost items. Some his things are said to be at the bottom of the pool so make sure to be prepared to get wet. However, don’t worry as lifeguards and members of Teen Council will be helping place participants on teams and ensuring that all non swimmers have help gathering items that are in the pool. This event is free to all those with a valid membership or a valid daily pass to participate.
