🎄 The Elf Hunt Is BACK! Look in the Nov. 26 issue of the paper, on stands today! 🎄

The elves have slipped away from the North Pole and are hiding all over Mascoutah to help local businesses get ready for Christmas! Your job: find them and write down their names.

How to play:

1. Pick up the Nov. 26 issue and visit each participating business listed.
2. Look for the hidden elf inside and write down its name next to that business.
3. Once you’ve found ALL the elves, fill out your name, age, and phone number.
4. Drop your completed form in the special Elf Hunt mailbox at The Herald office by December 17.
5. Bring up to five non-perishable food items for the food pantry when you turn in your form to earn up to five extra entries!

Everyone who completes the hunt will be entered to win a holiday prize basket.
The Elf Hunt starts Friday, Nov. 28 and ends Dec. 17.
Winners will be announced the week of Christmas.

Grab your paper, gather the family, and start hunting — those elves won’t stay hidden for long! 🎅✨
