2021 Hunt Clues 

by KATHY GLYSHAW

Columbia, MD    The creator of the Huntington Host Hunt has officially announced that the Hunt will be held again in the Spring of 2022.   The Hunt, modeled after the legendary Post Hunt created by Dave Barry and Gene Weingarten for the Washington Post paper, received rave reviews last year.  Hosted during the pandemic, it was one of few events hosted outdoors for families.  Neighbors and friends of the Host found the hunt to be a close replica of the excitement of the Barry/Weingarten event.   Hunters met in the Host's backyard for the announcement of the 2nd set of coordinates for locations on the Host Hunt map after which they scurried off to find and solve the clues for the numbers needed to complete the end-game.   Four teams successfully finished the hunt.   In addition to the regular version of the Hunt, a special Kid's Hunt was also provided.  Successful solving of the children's  clues led children to small prizes like stickers and pinwheels.

   The Host has indicated that the 2022 Hunt will be on an even grander scale.  Once again, children will have their own special hunt with prizes for each clue solved.    Winners of the adult hunt will receive the coveted Huntington Host's Hunt mug.   The date selected is April 16, 2022 which coincides with several religious holidays increasing the likelihood of the Host's children's friends being in the local area.   Save the date invitations began being sent out by the end of 2021.  Invitees are encouraged to invite others and to gather up a team to compete in April
