A bulk of the details regarding the Park Pursuit will be kept confidential until the day of the event. We can tell you this...after meeting outside of Village Hall (at 53 S. La Grange Rd.) for check-in, you will receive your T-shirts and the clue to your first task. Your team will be challenged throughout the Park Pursuit...testing your knowledge and adding some fun activities we couldn’t resist. You must strategically plan your course of action to complete each task. How you complete the task is up to you...will you outsmart your competitors?
