"Our mischievous gnomes have been hard at work, and they've convinced our wonderful downtown merchants to combine their hunt with our cherished Christmas Fest," explained Darrelyn Dunmore, Executive Director]. "It's a two-for-one holiday extravaganza, promising even more cheer for everyone who visits Downtown Foley!"

3. Capture the Proof: Snap a picture of your completed sheet, showcasing your keen detective skills.

4. Send and Win: Email your photographic evidence to [email protected], and you'll be entered into a drawing to win a fabulous $150.00 in gift certificates to downtown Foley businesses! No purchase necessary.

But the fun doesn't stop there! As you embark on your gnome-tastic journey, prepare to be tempted by a delightful array of specials and promotions offered by our participating downtown merchants.
