AUGUSTA, Ga.---Due to Masters Week, the First Friday Steering Committee is holding two First Friday celebrations during the month of April and a scavenger hunt that runs between them.

In Play Through Downtown, participants visit downtown businesses, restaurants, and places of interest, fulfilling free tasks and filling out an 18-"hole" scorecard.

Anyone can play, and the game lasts from what's being called "Front Nine First Friday", April 4 through "Back Nine First Friday", April 11. On Sunday, April 13 at 2 pm, four gift baskets will be awarded in a random drawing at New Moon Cafe from all scorecards that have been submitted. You must be present to win a basket.

You can pick up a copy of the scorecard at any of the following participating businesses. You can also download the scorecard from the link above and print it yourself. (Be sure to print page one, then flip it over and print page two so you only have to carry one sheet of paper.)
