Young Democrats Scavenger Hunt - Think you know your way around the Monuments on the National Mall? Think you are an expert in Washington, DC trivia?

The Montgomery County Young Democrats are challenging Washington-Metropolitan chapters to a scavenger hunt to see which chapter really knows it all.

When: Sunday, September 9 at 2:00
Where: The Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial (Think Forrest Gump)

We will divide into teams of 4-6 people and give you your list of items to find and clues to solve. We will end somewhere on the Mall with a picnic and prizes will be given out to the winning teams. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Each team will need a digital camera (suggested to bring a back-up).

While an RSVP is not required, we would like to have a rough estimate for the food count. This challenge will be cancelled for inclement weather -- there is currently no rain date.
