Seguin Today Magazine features great way to win prizes
(Seguin) — Scarecrows and skeletons aren’t the only things taking over downtown. The KWED, Seguin Daily News Jack-O-Lantern Scavenger Hunt is now underway. Seguin Today magazine readers are invited to grab a copy of our October issue, and join our scavenger hunt, which will take them to local Seguin businesses for the chance to win a $100 visa gift card.
KWED Sales Manager Nick Spence says the team here at KWED thought it’d be fun to do something that gets the community involved during Halloween.
“The scavenger hunt was a way to get people out and about, checking out local businesses they might not usually visit. You know, it’s just a way to have fun around town with family and friends,” said Spence.
The best part according to Spence is that the contest is really easy to enter.
“All you have to do is grab a copy of our Seguin Today Magazine, which you can pick up around town including the KWED office.
Inside, one of the pages will have a list of the businesses that are participating along with pictures of 12 different Jack-O-Lanterns. All you do is take the magazine with you and visit the 12 businesses listed, find the matching Jack-O-Lantern, write down what Jack-O-Lantern went with which business, and then fill out the form. Once you’re done, you can drop it off or mail it to us at KWED—609 E. Court Street in Seguin—and you’ll be entered to win a $100 Visa Gift Card. Just make sure to get it in by October 30th,” said Spence.
Spence says the whole idea, of course, is that the contest is a scavenger hunt so locating that pumpkin at one of those businesses might be a bit challenging.
“Sometimes, the Jack-O-Lantern is right there for you to see, maybe on the front counter. Others might be a little more challenging or hidden like on a shelf or tucked away in the corner. If you can’t find it, feel free to ask someone working there—they’ll be happy to point you in the right direction. This wasn’t meant to be a move everything around and dig for it type of hunt. It’s just something to have fun with. Just show up to the business and look for it, if you can’t find it just ask and they will point you in the right direction,” said Spence.
In the spirit of fall and the Halloween season, Spence encourages folks to come out and be a part of the fun.
“Honestly, this is just meant to be fun! It’s for all ages, and there’s no rush—you don’t have to do it all in one day. All the businesses are located within Seguin, so you won’t need to travel far. It’s a great way to get into the Halloween spirit, visit some new places, and maybe even win a $100 Visa Gift Card. So, take your time, it doesn’t need to all be done in one day. There are 12 locations in total so figure out your route and make things happen. Enjoy yourself, and bring friends or family along for the ride, and feel free to do some shopping while you’re visiting these locations,” said Spence.
In addition to the scavenger hunt, both children and adults are being treated to yet another fun way to win in this month’s edition of the Seguin Today Magazine. A Halloween coloring sheet can be found in the October issue. The only rules are to color and submit the page for a chance to win one of several $25 Walmart gift cards.
Spence says not only does he look forward to people winning but hopefully, these contests serve as yet another great way to pair residents with all the great and fascinating businesses around town.
“Just that this is really about supporting and connecting with our local businesses. These places are excited to welcome people in, and it’s a great chance to explore Seguin, whether you’ve been here forever or you’re new to town. Plus, it’s something the whole family can enjoy, and who knows—you might discover a new favorite spot in the process, the diamond in the rough you didn’t know existed. Good luck to everyone and happy hunting,” said Spence.
You can grab your copy of Seguin Today around town or at our KWED office located at 609 E. Court Street. All scavenger hunt entries must be turned in at KWED by October 30 to participate.
