Starting Nov. 29, participating businesses will display a hidden reindeer plushie somewhere in their store. 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, Dec. 23. Raffle winners will be announced on Thursday, Dec. 26, 2024.
