The second DC Scavenger Hunt, sponsored by Soulfully Speaking, began at high noon on April 18th. After receiving the clues and rules, the teams were ready to go! They set out into the city to find clues of artistic, historic and interesting value. The Hunt took the teams to a variety of locations including the National Museum of American History, Georgetown, the FDR Memorial, Chatman’s D’Vine Bakery & Cafe and the African-American Civil War Memorial, to name a few. A portion of the proceeds from this Hunt are to be donated to the Family Crisis Center of Prince George’s County, whose mission is to promote and facilitate the elimination of violence in intimate relationships by providing counseling, education and support services for women, children, and men.
Teams were also given a chance to pick up extra points by tracking down police officers, firefighters, mannequins and random passers-by in Obama or McCain t-shirts! 
Also, new to this hunt was the specific effort to support a Black Business. The teams were directed to Chatman’s D’Vine Bakery & Cafe – owned by Debra Chatman, who formerly served in the United States Air Force. The Bakery, located at 1239 9th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001, serves one of the best sweet potato pies you’ll taste! Chatman’s also has an assortment of cakes, cupcakes, pies and some lunch items. All of the teams that made it to Chatman’s traded in a coupon for a free Key Lime cupcake.
The teams had 3 hours to find as many clues as they could. When the teams came running back into Union Station, the points were tallied and only 40 points separated first from third! Coming in 3rd was:

Congratulations to Kendra and Lemar for winning the hunt, again! Perhaps it has something to do with that military training!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Hunt and made donations! Stay tuned for the next one!
