Scavenger Hunt!

By Lynsi Musselman

The Albany Chamber of Commerce is hosting a scavenger hunt to encourage residents to get involved with the history of Shackelford County.

“Just because we aren’t having Fandangle show nights does not mean residents cannot explore the history of the county,” said Chamber manager Mary Beth Jones.

Jones said to visit the website https://atlas.thctexas.gov/ and click on county, enter Shackelford, then uncheck all options but historical markers.

“There are 47 historical markers in Shackelford County,” she said.

Participants have from 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 26 until 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 27, to find the markers, take a picture of themselves with each marker, and e-mail the pictures to chamber@albanytexas.com.

Jones said there will be prize money in the form of Albany Bucks that can be used at any non-chain business that is a Chamber member.

First place prize is $125, second place $100, third place $75, fourth place $50, and fifth place $25.

Jones added that winners will be announced June 30.
