Vintage shops across Austin are inviting locals and visitors alike to participate in a Valentine’s Day-themed scavenger hunt that runs from February 9 to 22, 2024. Organized by Side Kitsch Vintage in collaboration with the Vintage Around Town Guide, the event features 21 participating stores where shoppers can hunt for hidden ducks, all while enjoying discounts and the chance to win cash prizes.
This scavenger hunt is designed to engage vintage enthusiasts, whether they are seeking unique gifts for their partners or wishing to explore their partner’s taste in vintage items. Participants will search for two decorative ducks located at each of the 21 stores throughout Austin, making it an exciting way to experience the city’s vibrant vintage market.
How the Scavenger Hunt Works
Shoppers can begin their adventure by picking up a wristband at any of the participating stores, granting them discounts at all locations involved in the hunt. To compete for prizes, participants must locate the ducks at ten different stores and document their findings by taking selfies with each duck. Each photo must then be posted on social media, tagging both the store and @vintagearoundtownguide.
Those who find all the ducks will receive a second entry into the prize draw, significantly increasing their chances of winning. Entries will be randomly selected after the event concludes, ensuring a fair chance for all participants.
Prizes and Participating Stores
The scavenger hunt offers enticing rewards: the first-place winner will receive $500, while second and third places will earn $200 and $100, respectively. Additionally, the fourth-place winner will receive a $100 gift card for Scissor Sisters Salon, which shares a space with Side Kitsch Vintage.
