January—RUTLAND REGION—Come Alive Outside the program encouraging children and families to spend more time being active outdoors and exploring their local community, has kicked off in the Rutland area.
Every elementary school in Rutland County, plus 6 community groups, are handing out the Winter Passport allowing kids to earn points and win prizes by doing simple tasks like visiting parks, farmers’ markets, and community events.
One of the 6,000 passports has a special golden ticket hidden inside. For the lucky kid who finds it will get a private pizza party in a stretch limo with five friends and Bigfoot, the fun mascot. The golden ticket must be claimed by Feb. 1.
This year, the prizes connected to the passport program are even better than last year. Participants can earn prizes throughout the entire 12 weeks of the program, and there’s no limit. Some of the new prizes include glowing Viking helmetsand trendy beverage containers.
Grown-ups can join the fun too by downloading and enjoying the adult Come Alive Outside passport available in the Google Play or Apple app stores. While there’s no Bigfoot pizza party for adults, one lucky grownup can win a night’s stay at the historic Woodstock Inn & Resort.
