The Great Folly Hunt

Now Through Aug. 31/SEWARD – Imagine a great treasure hunt that takes you from one end of town, to the other. Even to another town in Seward County! Epic! If you choose to hunt for the elusive Folly you’ll be like Indiana Jones, or more appropriately, Nebraska Jones––you’ll decipher obscure clues, travel to exotic locations (within Seward County) and search for treasure. but instead of actual treasure, you’ll be searching for a prairie Folly––the only bird in the world with ears. Buy a $5 Folly Hunting License from participating retailers in Seward and receive a clue as to the hiding place of a bird. The bird may be mythical, but a Seward artist handcrafted seven birds––all with ears––and these birds are very real. Seven Follys, seven retailers, seven clues. https://www.follyhuntseward.com/
