First Friday, Back to School-Sept. 3
It’s back to the grind of the school year, but it doesn’t have to be all work and no play. Downtown merchants and title sponsor MIDFLORIDA CREDIT UNION want you to have fun with knowledge, so we’re organizing a trivial pursuit scavenger hunt. Pick up your game cards at any participating merchant and go in search of knowledge. Visit the stores, answer the questions and register for a chance to win prizes for you and your school. The school with the most registered participants wins the grand prize!
See…the FCAT can be fun! The Downtown FCAT that is…
Get your FCAT game card at participating merchants. (Lists provided at First Friday.) Merchants will be waiting for you and will ask you a question from the category they are assigned. Get the answer right and you’ll get a sticker for your card. Turn in the cards to the DLP booth or any participating merchant when you’re done and get a chance to win prizes. Plus we’ll ask you to write on your card the school you represent. The school with the most participants will also win a prize. Individual prizes are gift certificates to retail/restaurants.
