Bring the Gnome Home
Bring the Gnome Home is a hide and seek game that takes place on the public trail system managed by ACC Leisure Services Trails and Open Space. At the beginning of each month the gnome is hidden on one of our trails or properties. The gnome will be at least partially visible from the trail. When found, follow the instructions on the base of the gnome figurine. This informs the finder to return the gnome to Sandy Creek Nature Center to receive a prize. The prizes are donated by local Athens, Georgia businesses and are at least $25 in value.
If the gnome is not found within the first two weeks of the month, hints will be given through social media as to the gnome’s whereabouts. The Gnome must be returned by the last business day of each month to redeem a prize. If the gnome is not found or returned within the month, a gnome will be hidden in a new location and a new prize will be offered.
ACC Leisure Services staff and family members are not eligible to claim prizes.
