Kerr Village and Bronte Village Launch Holiday Hunts in Shop Windows

Kerr Village and Bronte Village have both tucked something into their shop windows for the holidays, and the whole point is to go find it. Two separate hunts are running across the two neighbourhoods this season, and both are free to join.

The Elf on the Shelf Treasure Hunt in Kerr Village starts Saturday, November 14, the morning of the Oakville Santa Claus Parade, and runs through December 24. Look for a participation sign in a shop window, head inside, and find the elf hiding somewhere on a shelf to collect a treat. More than 25 local businesses are taking part, and the BIA has a treasure map of participating merchants to save some wandering.

Over in Bronte, the Holly Jolly Chair Hunt works a little differently. Mini Muskoka chairs, each dressed up with a red bow, are sitting in the windows of more than 30 businesses. Spot 10 of them, write down which shops they were in, and send that list to the Bronte Village communications team to be entered for a $100 gift card to a local Bronte business.

Bronte draws a winner every week, and those draws run from November 21 through December 26.

How to enter the Bronte draw

Keep a list of 10 businesses where you spot a mini Muskoka chair and email it to communications@brontevillage.net. Weekly draws run November 21 through December 26, and the prize is a $100 gift card to a local Bronte business.

Both hunts run for weeks, so there is no need to do either one in a single afternoon. Happy hunting!
