Punks O'Tawny
(Jordan, Abny, Kim, Sandra, Amy and Leah) found Phil in
style after traveling from the Dark Horse to Tattooed
Moms to Doc Watson’s and finally Dirty Franks. Last
year their team missed out on Phil by seconds and they
rebounded nicely to nab the Philster. It was a record
crowd of 15 teams with an astounding sixty-six total
participants! The teams gathered in a private bar at the
Dark Horse, then traveled west to Tattooed Mom’s
where we were basically the whole bars. After whacking
the mole, teams continued west to Doc Watson’s where
we had the entire second floor to ourselves (thanks
John!) The teams tried their feet at stomping the spiders
before bringing it home to Dirty Franks, where we
descended upon the Saturday regulars. As Ed text messaged
more clues, the teams worked feverously to figure out
where Phil was. Finally, Punks O'Tawny screamed, “I
know where Phil is!” as they grabbed the mini-Phil,
and announced that is was indeed in the Blue Moon beer
case high in the loft. The bouncer mounted the rickety
ladder and brought down the case. Ed then liberated Phil
from his hiding place and presented him to the winning
team.
As a bonus, Ed picked up some
Punxsutawney prizes for mini-challenges along the way,
and Woodchuck Cider provided pint glasses and shirts that
some of the participants got to take home. All in all a
great event, and thanks again to Sheila for hosting us at
Dirty Franks!
Next year the
hunt will actually be on Groundhog Day, February 2nd,
2008. Save the date!
