This creative community scavenger hunt is a fun adventure to do on a date or with family, friends — or alone – – especially if you like to shop — discover boutiques and specialty stores — or find new places to eat.
1. From June 1st to June 30th, go to any of the participating businesses (listed below) and pick up a Normie Passport.
2. Visit each location and collect a store stamp or initial for each Normie sighting.
3. ALL AGES CAN PLAY! Keep in mind – this is not just a “game” – it is a fabulous way to spend time with friends and family – make sweet memories AND get to know our beloved Mooresville.
4. When you have finished “stamping” every location on your “passport tracker”, return it to Normie Headquarters – which is Fred & June’s Books (located at 248 N Main St – across from The Charles Mack Center.) Your completed passport will enter you into the grand prize drawing (More detail about prizes included below)
