Find The Elf In The Shop And Win!

December 2, 2022 by Maggi Barnard

Find the ELF in the Shop is another exciting activity added to this season’s Christmas program in Forbes. 

The Forbes Business Chamber and Forbes Shire Council launched the activity to encourage children, young people and adults to wander the businesses, use the clues and seek out an Elf that is hidden and stand a chance to win 6 x $50 Why Leave Town cards. 

“Basically, this is a treasure hunt reaching across 15 stores with an ELF in their front window or in a prominent position that is visible during and after hours. The competition runs from the 1st to 20th of December” said Chamber President Aaron Acheson.

Clues will be printed on the back of the entry form to direct community members to participating stores. 

When the ELF is found the details, including the name of the store are to be completed on the entry form. Hand your completed form into Forbes Shire Council office by close of business on the 20th December. 

“We would like to thank Josh Matic from the Phoenix Group of Newspapers for his kind sponsorship and support of the Elf in the Shop activity. Together we will add some magic to Christmas for the children in the area.” said Aaron.
