WINNING TEAM: THE NATIVES + BRAD WITH HAGAN BRODY
WHAT YOU MISSED: YPG Q DASH SCAVENGER HUNT THE SARASOTA YOUNG PROFESSIONALS GROUP (YPG), a program of The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, hosted the 2018 Q Dash Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, March 3rd, where over 60 participants scoured the City for two hours to discover landmarks and earn points. The Q Dash is the area’s only scavenger hunt that focuses on the unique arts, culture, history,
and small businesses of Sarasota. “This event is a love note to Sarasota. No matter how long you’ve lived here, we hope the Q Dash helps you find something new about the city that you didn’t know before,” said YPG Coordinator, Mimi Cirbusova. Teams earned points by decoding clues and posting photos to social media. Each landmark was valued between 10-30 points, depending on the difficulty of the clue and the distance from the Start/Finish lines. If a team needed a break, they could grab a drink and appetizer at
one of three Pit Stops: Louie’s Modern, Alfstad & Contemporary, and Aloft Hotel. The event concluded at City Hall, where the winning team was announced by City Commissioner, Hagan Brody. The winning team, The Natives + Brad, scored an impressive 925 points—earning them the Grand Prize Package of local goodies and trophy. Three additional teams won titles in the Judge’s Choice Awards in categories, including “Best Costume,” “Best Wrong Answer,” and “Most Creative.”
