The Great Waiheke Heritage Scavenger Hunt
The Waiheke Historical Society will sponsor a scavenger hunt on 29-30 September 2007 to mark Auckland Heritage Week. The Great Waiheke Heritage Scavenger Hunt will require contestants to respond to 30 questions and tasks about Waiheke. Knowledge about our natural, social, cultural, and historical heritage, as well as Googling skills, the Waiheke community library, Waihekepedia, and plain old on-the-street research will all come in handy to those who take up the challenge. Questions will vary in difficulty, and it is not expected that the winner will have answered them all. Several wild-card prizes will be given in addition to the grand prize donated by Cable Bay Vineyards.
The questionnaire will be released at 10:00 on Saturday morning, 29 September. It will be available at the Ostend market, the library, the Waiheke Historical Museum, and the Woolworths/Placemakers shopping centre, as well as online at http://www.waihekemuseum.org.nz.

Contestants must be present at the Museum to win.
The sausage sizzle will feature meat donated by the Village Butchery in Oneroa and buns provided by the European Bakery in Ostend, and therefore will be of a high quality. Prizes to be awarded at the sausage sizzle have all been donated by numerous island businesses.
