Tenley WinterFest uses the GooseChase app for the annual Yeti Scavenger Hunt, which allows people of all ages to have fun, learn about our community, and compete for prizes from Tenleytown businesses. Teams of up to 6 family members, friends, or co-workers can complete tasks to win points and earn prizes. The hunt will take teams to spots throughout the neighborhood to explore all Tenleytown has to offer. And yes, the Tenley Yeti will definitely be a part of this year’s hunt!
