St Patrick's Scavenger Hunt at Downtown Novato Saturday - $600 Lucky Money Up for Grabs!

“St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time -- a day to begin transforming winter's dreams  into summer's magic.”

Come celebrate the upcoming St. Patrick Day by shopping Downtown Novato and participating in the St. Patrick’s Scavenger Hunt this Friday, March 13th and Saturday, March 14th.

With the economy in upswing and optimism in the air; Downtown Novato Business Association (DNBA), led by a few enthusiastic entrepreneurs, brainstormed and came up with several creative and fun ideas to attract shoppers and visitors to Downtown Novato.  The St. Patrick’s Scavenger Hunt is one of the new events.

Shoppers visiting the participating businesses have the opportunity to win up to $600 in the form of the American Express Gift Cards.

On March 13th and March 14th, visit at least five participating DNBA businesses and uncover the secret green item for your chance to WIN!  You can find pictures of the items on this blog post or on DNBA Facebook Page
