You've found us! The Great Northwest Glass Quest in Stanwood and Camano Island, WA
The Great Northwest Glass Quest
February 17 through 26, 2012
You're
invited to participate in the greatest treasure hunt in the Pacific
Northwest! This is your opportunity to search for and find unique Glass
Treasures hand-blown by Mark Ellinger, world-renowned glass artist.
Now in it's third year, the Great Northwest Glass Quest joins an elite community of glass art treasure hunts, pioneered by Lincoln City, Oregon’s “Finders Keepers” and Jekyll Island’s “Island Treasures”. ‘Clueballs’ will be hidden at a variety of host businesses and in community sites around the Stanwood-Camano area.
Find the "Clueball" and return it to the location identified inside for an authentic limited edition Glass Treasure. The Official Event Guidebook identifying where the "Clueballs" are hidden will be available at both the Stanwood and Camano chamber offices and at both Gallery by the Bay in Stanwood and Seagrass Gallery on Camano Island starting February 17th. You can also find them at the Windermere Realtor offices at Terry's Corner and at Country Club on Camano Island. With booklet in hand you will be ready to start your Quest!
And don't forget -- when you go to businesses that are participating in The Great Northwest Glass Quest but do not find a "Clueball", ask your business host to stamp one of the three Official Entry Forms found at the back of your Booklet. Five stamps from five different host businesses will allow you to enter the drawing for one of the genuine Glass Treasures to be given away in March 2012. You do not need to be present to win the drawing. Your completed Entry Form also allows you to purchase a Glass Treasure at a reduced price, available at Gallery by the Bay, Seagrass Gallery, or at the Glass Quest Hand Blown Art Studio.
With thanks to our parent organization Design Stanwood (www.designstanwood.com), and for the generous support of the Snohomish County Tourism Promotion Assistance Program and the Island County Hotel-Motel Tourism Program.

| Can't wait to start searching for this years globes. We had a great time last year and have decided to make it an annual family outing. We took our grand-son last year when he was 2 and am excited to take him this year as I think he will be able to participate even more!!! | -- Claudia Standish, 1/27/12

| We were out and about most everyday looking for those sly little clueballs. We were not fortunate enough to find one. But had a great time looking and being laughed at and encouraged by the store workers to keep searching. We ended up buying one of course as our personal quest was for our special needs grandaughter-Lily. She hasn't received it yet but will on her 5th Birthday April 1st. She loves things that sparkle and shine and we have set it up special just for her. Thanks for the great glass ball adventure, we'll try again next year. We had a Ball ; ) Ray & Julie | -- Ray & Julie Hanley, 3/21/11
