Community scavenger hunts being
organized on Facebook for residents
By Josie Sellers
Are you ready to go on a
bear hunt? Jump in the car
with the family and head
out to see how many stuffed
bears you can find placed in
windows and around peo-
ple’s homes and businesses.
There’s also a unique scav-
enger hunt set up on Ridge-
wood Drive.
T h e Fa c e b o o k p a g e ,
Coshocton County Going
on a Bear Hunt, has photos
and locations to help you
on your journey. Village of
Conesville Mayor Marge
Donley also has encour-
aged her entire community
to get involved including
those who live in the Alpine
Heights and Sunny Acres
subdivisions.
“The coronavirus is caus-
ing many people stress, and
parents have added stress of
home-schooling their chil-
dren,” Donley said. “Walk-
ing or driving through the
village gets the parent and
child out of the house. It also
helps the child with count-
ing. It allows parent/child
time and decreases stress,
if only for a short period of
time. Most importantly it
brings families together.”
Donley plans to continue
the village’s bear hunt until
school resumes or until June
15 if it doesn’t resume.
“I would encourage any-
one to do it,” said Jarred
Renner, principal at Cones-
ville Elementary School.
“We have one in our win-
dow now over on TR 479
and thought about going
for a walk because some
neighbors had some too. It’s
important for physical and
mental health to get out of
the house. Going for a walk

or even just a drive around
the neighborhood can be
better than sitting in the
house.”
The count y bear hunt
Facebook page was started
by Carla Stocker. Both she
and Donley originally saw
the idea for a bear hunt on
Facebook.
“I realized that this would
be an amazing oppor t u-
nity for people of all ages
to enjoy while practicing
social distancing and get-
ting them out of the house,”
Stocker said. “It warms my
heart seeing the excitement
when people put the bears
up and then when people
are finding them. People
have gotten really creative.
Something so simple has
really lifted spirits and has
given people something to
look forward to.”
The Ridgewood Drive
scavenger hunt was coordi-
nated by Erin Tipton.
“I came up with the idea
through social media, where
I saw others posting things
that were being done in their
neighborhood for the kids
while they’re home,” Tipton
said. “I thought it would be
great if we did something in
ours as well. Some people
were putting stuffed ani-
mals in their windows as a
‘safari’ people could go on.
I happened to come across
a list for an indoor and out-
door scavenger hunt, and I
thought, ‘Why not combine
the two ideas?’ A scavenger
hunt with colored pictures
in the window is exactly
what we did. We have so
many kids in our neighbor-
hood that I thought they
could all enjoy this. In addi-
tion I thought this would be
a great way to supplement
gym and art class.”
Tipton’s neighbor, Amy
Hasseman, started a Face-
b o ok p a ge w it h a l l t h e
neighbors to inform them
of the hunt and what they
needed to do to participate.
“Once I heard back from
those wanting to participate,
I put my four kids to work
drawing and coloring pic-
tures,” Tipton said. “Hon-
estly it was easy to stick to
simple things like a rain-
bow, sun and flower until I
realized we could get simple
ideas like this from the emo-
jis on our phone, and that’s
how we could share with the
neighborhood what to look
for. My younger two kids
are only 3 and 5 years old,
so we had to keep it simple.”
Neighbors loved the idea
and were more than will-
ing to hang a pict u re in
their window. A total of 10
houses ended up on the list.
The hunt started on March
24, and Tipton is hoping to
rotate families so they can
keep it going.
“I’ve gotten a lot of posi-
tive feedback,” Tipton said.
Some of the thoughts
heard from neighbors were:
“This is the coolest thing.
I’ve seen several families
and singles out for a scaven-
ger hunt stroll!”
“We had fun looking for
all the different pictures. We
found them all.”
“Several others heard
about it through Facebook
and came to check it out,”
Tipton said. “They were
thankful for a break, one of
them saying, ‘My kids loved
it, and we definitely needed
to social distance outside of
the house for a bit!’ I’m just
glad it brought a little bit of
joy in a dark time.”
