Clementine the Elf, Spotted in 1st Location – Downtown Valley City
Clementine, the Times-Record’s elf friend and a close friend of Santa’s, was spotted at her first location during her 2021 Christmas mission and invites all readers to come and find her. Her hint is a bit vague but mentions ties and clues. See if you have any idea where she might be, then let us know at the TR.
During Clementine’s visit she will write the TR staff, a note hinting where she will “might” be. We have been asked to share her hints with our TR readers as she hopes you will all go out looking for her and find her in each location.
Our mischievous little elf is quite a good hide and seek player so be certain to keep your eye open and watch for her as you visit and shop locally at our Valley City businesses.
For those who are new to the challenge, Clementine is working with the Times-Record this year with a special mission from Santa to spread her Christmas magic as Santa’s scout through local Valley City businesses.
Several local business have agreed to open their doors to Clementine whenever she decides to spend some time scouting for Santa at each location this holiday season, and Clementine made her first stop early this morning we heard.
The Times-Record and Clementine invite you to help us have a little Christmas fun and try to find Clementine during each visit. Once you find Clementine, report her location back to the Times-Record by calling 701-845-0463, leaving your name, your contact information, and where you found Clementine.
For each correct answer, the guesser will be entered into a drawing
for a special prize. After Clementine moves to a new location, her previous location will be revealed and a new hint of her current location will be given.
Clementine knows that this will not only be fun for Times-Record readers, but it will
help her complete her special mission, because she will see more people and have more information to report back to Santa.
Participants are also invited to take a picture with her and share it on Facebook with @ VCTimesRecord, but Facebook photos will
not count towards the grand prize and are just for fun.
Clementine and the Times-Record do ask that those participating remember and abide by the most important rule of elf fun, please DO NOT touch her or she will lose her magic and be unable to complete her mission.
Don’t forget while
you are looking for Clementine to register at participating businesses to win one of two $20 gift certificates in our Shop Local campaign each week.
Next ‘Shop Local’ entry forms will printed in the November 10th Times-Record edition, winners announced November 17th.
