  The Flashers win $500 Cash!

  Digital Photo Scavenger Hunt - October 2nd, 2010

The fourth annual Washago Rotary Digital Photo Scavenger Hunt was won on October 2nd, 2010 by a team called "The Flashers" from Severn Bridge. The first prize winners took home $500 cash. The event began in downtown Washago at 9:00 AM and ended at 4:00 PM, where participants enjoyed barbecued sausages and soft drinks. All participants also enjoyed a slide show of the day's photos taken by each team. Participants were required to take as many pictures as possible from a list of 100 photos. Each photo was worth between 10 and 100 points depending on the level of difficulty. The Flashers achieved 3,810 points which was 160 points ahead of second place team Shutter Up who won $150. Digital Diablos won $75 for coming in third.


The Flashers team captain Amber Gregory said "It was tougher this year than other years. We had to really scramble around to get as many photos as we did." The team also won First Prize in 2008 and Second Prize in 2009. Her team members were Jeff Gregory and Jocelyn Hill. Some of the photos required on this years photo hunt included, a picture of one member in a hair dressing chair wearing a plastic cape and another member appearing to cut their hair, with the member in the chair looking mortified, and in another photo all members appearing to be laughing hysterically, and a photo of a team member behind an umbrella appearing to be naked. Event organizer, and club president Janet Stead said "The club made approximately $800 from the Scavenger Hunt that will be used for various local and international Rotary Community Service Programs. We are very gratefull to Muskoka Meats who donated all the hot dogs and sausages. The Flashers apparently really know what they are doing."
  
Eleven  teams entered the Washago Rotary Digital Photo Scavenger Hunt. The event attracted a number of sponsors including CTC Computer Training, The Shock Doctor, Century 21 Sparkling Waters Realty and Muskoka Meats.
