The weather outside may be frightful, but car scavenger hunts are delightful.
Local party planning company, Rock Paper Scissors Custom Events successfully turned their business into a virtual trivia party offering last year when COVID hit. Founded by Kristen Mitrakis and Rachel Lampen, they will continue to do online events and smaller ‘in person’ parties but were looking to add something fresh and family-focused to add to their repertoire. That’s when they came up with the novel idea of creating car-based scavenger hunts.
The first to launch was a 45-minute drive around New Canaan, CT, solving clues and unscrambling letters. The beneficiary is Meals on Wheels of New Canaan. In just over one month, the community has raised $500 for the charity. The route will be drivable until end of April 2021.

Local party planning company, Rock Paper Scissors Custom Events, launched its scavenger hunt in Ridgefield this week with some of the proceeds going to the town’s social services department.
Founders Kristen Mitrakis and Rachel Lampen, who both live in New Canaan, launched in September with virtual events and trivia, but they wondered what to do for smaller kids and their families to get out of the house. That’s when they came up with idea of creating car-based scavenger hunts.

While the Chamber was not able to host everyone in town for the annual Holiday Stroll, there was plenty of holiday magic in New Canaan this December.
So many of our community members worked together to make downtown feel special and we wanted to take this opportunity to give a special shout out to the people and organizations that helped the Chamber keep so many of New Canaan’s important traditions alive. Over 170 families, organizations and businesses donated to the 2020 Holiday Lights campaign which lit up downtown New Canaan starting the week of Thanksgiving. Of course, a big shout out to Rob Hutchinson and his dedicated crew who carefully place and maintain the lights over the three months they are up. Marc Harrison and his team of SLOBS (Service League of Boys) gave up a Sunday afternoon to hang the garland and white lights which had been donated by Greggs Garden Center on all the lampposts in town. Also, an extra thank you to long time New Canaan residen
