Wanderlust Challenge is COMPLETE!!!

We thank our participants, sponsors and volunteer leaders who encouraged us
to get get out
and play in a safe way.
Instead of gathering together this year, we enjoyed these
Winterfest Challenges while following COVID protocols. Stay tuned for Week 4 Prize Drawings and Grand Prize Announcements!!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

Wanderlust Challenge runs January 29, 2021 ‐ Friday, February 26, 2021. Final Awards for highest points will be awarded on Town Meeting Day, March 2, 2021.
Make sure you (or someone else) takes a photo of you or your mascot completing each activity. (For example, Team #5’s mascot might be an action figure, or a banana, while Team #8’s mascot could be their dog.) If you choose a mascot, it must be photographed at each completed challenge.
Teams must be from one household, per COVID best practices, and a team can earn points one time for each activity (e.g. cannot build two snow forts).
By Friday of each week, upload completed activities with picture documentation to waterburywinterfest.com/wanderlust in order to be eligible for fabulous weekly prize drawings!
HAVE FUN!!!
