Follow the clues for annual DeLuna Treasure Hunt From Fiesta of Five Flags Association
The WEAR-TV and West Florida Medical Group DeLuna Treasure Hunt is under way. And things are a little different this year. You won’t need a treasure map. For more than 65 years, the Fiesta of Five Flags Association has engaged the public with a series of historical clues about the location of Don Tristan de Luna’s lost treasure. This year, treasure hunters have the opportunity to decipher 10 daily clues that will lead them to daily prizes totaling nearly $5,000.
In addition to having the opportunity to win daily prizes, there will be an 11th prize known as the “Grand Prize.” Those who answer all 10 daily clues correctly will have their name go into a final drawing for the “Grand Prize” that will be announced May 2 at the Pensacola Crawfish Festival. To play, you must go to
WEAR TV’s contest webpage (www.weartv.com/contests/fea tures/fiesta-treasurehunt/#.VSfqHHav-Kr) daily. The daily clues will be posted along with a digital link that will lead you to the answer. Once you have solved the daily clue, log onto www.weartv.com and fill out the contest entry form with your answer and contact information. The first clue was posted April 13. New clues will be posted today, April 17, and April 20-24. The Fiesta of Five Flags is an annual celebration of the founding of Pensacola. In 1559, Spanish conquistador,
Don Tristan de Luna, established Pensacola as the first European settlement in the United States. Since that time five different flags have flown over the City: Spanish, French, British, Confederate and American.
