Urban by Choice - Rochester, New York
This year's 19th Ward Treasure Hunt will begin May 25. There will be many keys distributed about the 19th Ward and surrounding communities in Monroe County, about 40 of which will open the lock at the 19th Ward Square Fair on June 6 in Aberdeen Square. Clue sheets to solve the puzzle that opens the Treasure Box (best chance of finding a winning key) will be available at sponsor's stores throughout the event.
Square Fair starts with a pancake breakfast at 8:00am and runs through 4:00pm. Keys need to be tried and prizes claimed before 1:30 pm on June 6. A drawing (from those who turn in the found keys) will be held at 2 pm for any unclaimed prizes.
Square Fair is a neighborhood event which includes a Parade, Book Sale, Plant Sale, Children's Activities, Music and food. Many neighborhood groups set up information booths telling about their activities. This is the Association's largest fundraiser.
Pancake Breakfast 8 - 10:00am
Lunch Grill 10:30am 'til gone
Booths open 10am - 4pm
Entertainment Schedule

and Step Team
Congratulations to our first two treasure hunt sleuths who have successfully solved the puzzle. There are still 96 keys in the treasure box. We have three teams of individuals putting out keys throughout Monroe County. The best ways to find keys, however, are to visit our sponsors stores, and to solve the puzzle to open the treasure box.
If you are one of the successful Treasure Hunt sleuths, leave us a note in the comments to encourage others to keep working!
