Sometimes you get caught up looking at an album of photos... 💭📸 so we just wanted to take a second and share some with you! We've been doing this since 2019 and it's amazing the people in our local communities that come to the events and support our mission! Every year the Stead Family Children's Hospital is immensely grateful for the big load of toys and games we deliver in December!
It's all you guys!!! 🫵👏👏👏👏👏💓
Thank you all for continuing to help make this possible!!!🖤💛🖤💛💕

Who's getting amped up for the Back Roads Scavenger Hunt 2026! at Barney's Wadena this Saturday?!! 😁
We've got lots of questions for you to find the answers to, mystery items getting placed Friday night, and a list of fun things for you to earn extra points for by turning them in with your packets! 📑
Hopefully this rain let's up a little! Plan to get your vehicle dirty, I guess!!!💧😆

We'll have a cooler to get chances on, with the winner drawn Saturday night! Don't have to be present to win it! 🧊🍻

We're getting a good response on our pre-signup form! The scoring is a manual process after you get back and it takes us time to go through all of them.📝📝📝📝📝
If you're coming, and you haven't done so yet, please pop over to the form at the bottom and answer 1 question for us so we can have enough team packets printed to go around! *If the number of teams starts getting too high, and we have to cut it off, you're guaranteed a spot if your team is on the form already!

(*we had two form submissions that just answered "4". If this was you, can you message us so we can add a name to it please?)😊

We'll have prizes for 3 places plus drawing for the cooler (our coolers are never empty!) and we'll have an optional poker hand you can get in that day, too!! ♥️♠️♦️♣️

Trailer parking for SxS's: 🛻 As of right now, just find a place on a side street that doesn't block a residential yard or driveway. If we can secure a dedicated parking area, we'll update with it!

ALL vehicles welcome as long as you're fine taking it on gravel roads all day! Trucks, cars, whatever!!

1 vehicle = 1 Team

Don't trespass on private property or pull into house driveways. Just take a picture and move along, zoom in afterwards for your answer. 👍

It WILL take you all day!! 😆🤙

See you Saturday!!! Help us raise some funds for the annual toy delivery down to the Stead Family Children's Hospital in December!!
🛻🛻📦📦📦🎁🎁🎁

Message us with questions and if we haven't posted it already, we will!!
