A new Hill City event is poised to usher in spring. On Saturday, April 11, Hill City merchants will hold the April Flowers Bring Friends and Flowers event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“We really want something every month to bring people in to see our cool little town,” explained Shari Greseth of Things That Rock.
The event’s name is based on the well-known rhyme and will center around a four-question scavenger hunt where participants will visit involved Hill City businesses to find flowers containing the answers. Entry forms may be picked up at Things That Rock and should be filled out with the answers and dropped off at Art Forms by 4 p.m. A drawing for over $500 in prizes donated by the participating businesses will be held at the Old World Plaza at 5 p.m.
It’s designed to be like the spring time Girlfriend’s Weekend,” Greseth explained.
The merchants are hoping for around 200 people and are still finalizing their store specials and events. Some participating businesses are the Jon Crane Gallery, Everything Prehistoric, Heart of the Hills Antiques and of course, Things That Rock and ArtForms. Most of the open Hill City businesses will be joining the fun.
