A Great Scavenger Hunt In Amarillo To Take Place Of Buddy Walk

Every October the Panhandle Down Syndrome Guild has a fun event every year called the Buddy Walk. I have attended it several times. It really is a lot of fun so the thoughts of how to top that during this age of social distancing was a task. They crushed it.

Instead of the Buddy Walk this year how about a city wide scavenger hunt? Those are a lot of fun anyway. It's called The Amazing Buddy Race. There will be tons of locations for you and your team to visit on your way to winning.

Here is their announcement on Facebook from the Panhandle Down Syndrome Guild:

We are proud to present our 19th Annual Buddy Walk a.k.a . The Amazing Buddy Race! We changed our traditional format for this year due to the COVID19 pandemic, and we are excited for the new special format. The Amazing Buddy Race will be a city-wide scavenger competition with a social media twist. Participants will have the opportunity to win cash prizes and awesome merchandise for traveling to selected locations in Amarillo and Canyon. Bonus opportunities to win will be earned by promoting accomplishments via social media during the event. The participants have to stay focused because time is limited. All sponsors are encouraged to volunteer to be an event location for additional exposure, but this is optional. We think it would be a great way to promote you and all of your commitment to
