Find the Fire Ant RULES:
- You must visit the businesses in person to get a clue. Do not call the business for the clue because they will not give it out over the phone. If a business decides to remove the clue, you will not get that clue unless another hider were to share their knowledge (or not… Strategy and all).
- Businesses are not obligated to post clues in easy-to-find locations. Some clues will be posted where you will have to walk the store and locate them.
- It is not in a garbage can.
- The ant is hidden on public property! You do not need to tear up anyone’s property to get to it.
- If it is still not found by Friday, March 28, either a new clue will be given or an old clue explained by Chief Ant Hider starting at 2 pm in Heritage Park. Up to 3 new clues/explanations can be voted on by the hunters present.
