This challenge coin search will highlight historical happenings, prominent people, and nostalgic places throughout Gilchrist County’s 100 years.
This challenge will continue throughout the year, from now until December 30, 2025. Gilchrist County Extension and 4-H will hide the coin tokens and release 8-12 clues per month. Check Facebook and the local newspapers to find them.
Here are the ways to snag one of the 100 coins:
2 coins will be drawn at each major centennial event for attendees
100 coins will be available throughout the year through a historical hide-and-seek game. Each coin will be tied to a location/place in history, and the location will have a laminated coin waiting to be found. The first person to find it will take a photo at the spot and grab the laminated coin, plus leave the card behind stating the coin was already taken.
The laminated coin must be returned to the Extension Office for exchange for the real challenge coin.
As the clues are posted, residents may call in with the answers to the clues and will be awarded 1 raffle ticket entered for each correct answer. To get credited for the solved clues, you must call in or email the Extension Office at 352-463-3174 or jaltum@ufl.edu
Please contact the UF/IFAS Extension office with any questions.
