Vineyard map for know-it-alls
Did you find a scallop shell? Did you see a gingerbread cottage? Did you smell low tide? These are just some of the questions in the new Funhunters Marthas Vineyard Scavenger Hunt, a laminated, foldout brochure designed to encourage children to explore all the Vineyard has to offer. Gerry Moriarty, a retired educator and island resident, modeled the game after the neighborhood scavenger hunts she loved as a child. In our electronic age, we dont pay enough attention to the natural wonders around us, she said. Once children find 59 Vineyard treasures, they are invited to log their accomplishments online and receive a personalized Funhunter certificate. Available at island stores, $10. 413-335-5770, www.funhunterkid.com![]()
