What is Valley Quest?
For our inaugural year, 29 Valley Quest Teams drove to the starting point at Blossoms and Twigs Florist. Each team received a Quest Tote containing valuable offers and surprises from local businesses. They picked up their Valley Quest map and clues that tested their knowledge of Long Valley people, places and things. Solving the clues brought them to destinations around Long Valley, where they could participate in challenging and fun contests to earn points in the form of gold coins. A team could earn a maximum of 55 points. Extra points were also given out for best team name and best team outfit. The teams with the most points select the best prizes.
Best Team Photo
In addition to the treats in store throughout the Quest, a special prize of a group portrait has been generously donated by Fordyce Studio for the team that takes the best team photo during the Quest. Our winner is the Five Amigos performing a challenge in Reform Studio.
