We have so many exciting, beautiful and uplifting parts to Mercer County, and we want to show them all to you. Since we can’t be there personally to give you a tour, we’re thinking why not create a self-guided tour! Bonus: there’s prize money involved and lots of fun memories to be made (and shared).

Join us this fall for our Explore Mercer Scavenger Hunt to discover all the incredible areas of Mercer and find adventure in our neck of the woods! Details on how to enter are below, and remember, when venturing out make sure to mask up!

 

How to Enter?

Take a photo at as many locations listed below as possible, add the #ExploreMercer hashtag to your photo caption and post on either Facebook or Instagram!
