Hunting for Elves

The city where are church is located had its annual Christmas event tonight. For the 2nd time, our church was in charge of the "elf hunt."

Here's how it works. In 27 of the local stores, an elf is in the window. The elf hunter has a scorecard, and writes down the elf's name. Lisa, Lori, Lewis, Lou, Luigi (they all start with L.) 

Then, notice the gift table behind our workers. The more elves you find, the bigger prize you get.

That's our two fearless leaders (Doug and Doris) on the left, and elf hunter helper Karen on the right.

It was a long night (almost 5 hours), but fun. Fun to see the looks on the little faces as they pick out their prizes.

Also, notice the background. We were holed up in the fire hall.
