A Christmas scavenger hunt that is free and fun for everyone!


​Our shepherds heard the good news about God’s gift to the world!  They want to go see the baby Jesus with the other shepherds but can’t find their sheep.  All our shepherds know is that the sheep are in these shops in downtown Spartanburg.  Will you help them find their missing sheep?

Directions

From December 8 – January 3, 11 sheep are hidden in stores in downtown Spartanburg.  Go to a participating store and start looking!  There is no specific order to follow, and you don’t have to finish in one day.  When you find a sheep, write down the name next to the store name on your Trail Card.  While you are looking, let our sheep teach you a bit about Christmas traditions and the ways we celebrate Jesus as God’s gift of love to the world.  Plus, enjoy a Christmas treat or some shopping along the way! Remember, sheep spook easily so be careful not to scare them! We ask that kids are always accompanied by an adult while on the Trail.  We love our participating stores so please be kind and respectful!

Once you find our flock, tag #messyintheburg, #hubcitysheep, and #sheepburg to share the fun!
