Pick up plywood squirrel: Friday, November 29 – Monday, December 9
Return finished squirrel: Friday, December 13 – Friday, December 27

Spot, the Park District Snowman, is visiting his red squirrel friends at Grant Park. They are super excited to show him their winter cache! They collected more than food to get them through the winter! Knowing how much Spot loves CWPD, they each collected some items that reminded them of a park experience or activity they enjoyed this year. What do you think the squirrels collected?

Households can register to paint a plywood squirrel using the above prompt. After painting, turn your squirrel in to enter it in the Spot the Snowman Scavenger Hunt contest for a chance to win a prize!

Squirrels will be turned in and featured in a scavenger hunt. Scavenger hunt participants will cast votes for their favorite squirrel. Winners of the painting contest will be announced on February 27.

Registration deadline: Thursday, November 28
