The Wauseon Downtown Association will be kicking off the summer season with Wauseon’s Amazing Race! On Saturday, May 17, everyone is invited to Depot Park to participate in this fun and informative game. Registration begins at 10:00 a.m. at the old Depot Building, and the community scavenger hunt wraps up there at 3:00 p.m. with a prize drawing. Wauseon’s Amazing Race is free and open to the public. Wauseon’s Amazing Race is being held in conjunction with the Fulton County Historical Society’s Civil War Tea at the Fulton County Historical Museum.
Wauseon’s Amazing Race is a walking tour of local historical sites and downtown merchants. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the city of Wauseon. You walk from clue to clue…looking for the Wauseon Downtown Association’s logo and entering prize drawings along the way, leading up to the grand prize drawing at 3:00 p.m.
Unlike in the past, teams are not needed for this event. Families and groups are still encouraged, but everyone competes as an individual for the prize drawings.
To commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, the Fulton County Historical Society will be sponsoring a Civil War Tea at the Fulton County Historical Museum on Saturday, May 17, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Re-live the Civil War at the Fulton County Historical Museum.
