What: Scavenger hunt

Where: Pleasant Home Foundation (PHF), 217 S. Home Ave. Oak Park

When: Saturday October 14th 9:00 am
In conjunction with the Pleasant Home Foundation’s Beautiful Bungalows tour, CMMC will be having an architecture scavenger hunt.
We will meet up at 9:00 am on October 14th at the Pleasant Home with priority parking in the driveway off Pleasant Street.
A scavenger hunt card will be handed out to all drivers and navigators showing pictures of five famous houses in a bounded area in Oak Park.
The object is to find the houses based on the photos and write down the addresses, and return your completed card to the Pleasant Home within a specified time.

For all the MINIs that get all five houses correct, we will have a drawing for some fabulous prizes from  Patrick MINI. Coffee and doughnuts generously provided by PHF.
