Clementine the Elf Spotted in 3rd Location, Downtown Valley City
Clementine, the TimesRecord’s elf friend and a close friend of Santa’s, has moved to her third location (hinted at in the photo to the right). She is working with the TR and Santa to complete her 2021 Christmas mission and invites the community to participate in a mission of their own: find out where she is and have a chat!
The mischievous elf’s second visit was to NuCara Pharmacy in downtown Valley City. Did you guess where she was?
Clementine almost gave away her location as she was so excited to play with a little girl named Willow that was visiting the store. Her mommy was looking at all the pretty candles and Christmas decor and Clementine
just couldn’t help herself to giggle and smile at the sweet little girl. Clementine says that the people she has come in contact with so far have been very nice and definitely are making it onto Santa’s nice list. She also asked us to thank NuCara for leaving a few extra sweet treats out for her to sample at night when she was making her way through the store and making her own Christmas shopping list.
Clementine has asked the Times-Record to pass along a special message: she says she has met so many nice people during her stay here in Valley City, but since she only has a little time left before she reports back to the North Pole, she wants everyone to keep watching for
clues in the newspaper so you can visit her wherever she’s hiding.
Both Clementine and the Times-Record thank those who have guessed so far
and encourage others to try and find the elf at her next destination.
For those who are new to the challenge, Clem
entine is working with the Times-Record with a special mission from Santa. She’s working as Santa’s scout, spreading her Christmas magic in local Valley City businesses and all around town.
Several businesses have graciously opened their doors to Clementine during the holiday season and invite the folks from Valley City to keep checking those store windows, shelves and newspaper hints— you never know where that kind little elf might be!
If you find Clementine, please feel free to take a selfie and post it on the TR Facebook site. Please remember not to touch her or she will lose her magic! Don’t really like snapping selfies? There’s another way to join the fun! Call the Times-Record at (701)
