The 2018 Scavenger Hunt is now on through December 22. Frankfort Main Street will hide 10 bells a week throughout the Downtown Frankfort Historic District. Each bell has a prize value of at least $10 from participating businesses and there are prizes for adults and kids (bells are different, see Main Street Facebook page for pictures). When you find a bell, take it to the business that is listed on the tag to redeem your prize. Participating business will take your picture with bell and prize and tag the Frankfort Main Street Facebook page.
Main Street will post a clue at least every Monday, maybe more, on its Facebook page. Bells are just in downtown Frankfort. They are all over inside and out.
