The Hattiesburg Pocket Museum’s 3rd Annual Great Downtown Duck Hunt will be held Saturday, October 22nd from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. One hundred and fifty “Ducks” will be hidden throughout downtown Hattiesburg, and each “Duck” can be redeemed for a variety of prizes. There are TINY prizes such as toys from a treasure chest or Oscar Mayer wiener whistles, MEDIUM size prizes like Hattiesburg Zoo Dole Whips, Zoo admission tickets or an Art-O-Mat coin and a FEW big sized prizes like gas gift cards or restaurant gift cards. The most INTERESTING prizes will be items from former exhibits like a nesting doll, hand painted rock or a bologna facemask from Oscar Mayer! There will be two Golden Duck’s to be found, which will each come with a $100 Amazon Gift Card as their prize. Duck Hunters are encouraged to wear their most comfortable shoes because the “Ducks” will be located as far as the Lucky Rabbit, Blooms, The Depot Coffee House and Main Street Books.
Twenty of the one hundred and fifty Duck Hunt prizes will be a “free lunch” and a hand potted bowl from Empty Bowls Hattiesburg, which will be taking place at Main Street Books and GrateFull Soul, just down the street from the Hattiesburg Pocket Museum. “We want to raise awareness of our local food pantry’s important role in our community, so we will encourage Duck Hunters to end their hunt by participating in the Empty Bowls event,” said Rick Taylor, Executive Director of the Hattiesburg Convention Commission, which manages the Hattiesburg Pocket Museum.
“We do have some rules this year so that more people can enjoy the hunt and have the opportunity to win a prize,” said Taylor.
