Whiskey Enthusiasts Encouraged to Participate in a Citywide Scavenger Hunt to Find All of the Barrels Around Town
Traverse City, MI (June 29, 2022) – Traverse City Whiskey Co. (TCWC), aka The Whiskey of the North, has stationed painted barrels throughout the city in honor of the National Cherry Festival. Each barrel was hand-painted by a local artist. Today through Labor Day, the company is encouraging locals and visitors alike to participate in a citywide scavenger hunt to locate the various barrels. Throughout the promotion, the TCWC Facebook and Instagram pages will provide clues as to the location of said barrels.
“We wanted to celebrate this year’s Cherry Festival in a fun and creative way,” said Chris Fredrickson, Founder & President, Traverse City Whiskey Co. “We’re excited for folks to locate and see these incredible works of art.”
How it Works: Scan, Selfie, Social
