Amador County – Amador Council of Tourism plans to have its kickoff meeting this week for this year’s 49er Treasure Trail game.

Executive Director Maurine Funk said it is time to get organized for the fourth annual 49er Treasure Trail, and ACT is hosting a kickoff meeting 5:30 p.m. Wednesday (Feb. 8). Funk said food and drink will be provided.

Businesses have several options to participate, including as an “adventure spot,” where the game participants will participate in an “adventure” conducted by the businesses. The adventures and locations are listed on the 49er Treasure Trail program.

Businesses can also sign up to be a “challenge spot,” with points awarded to players for finding the business, completing a challenge, and making a purchase.

Another business participation is to form a team of 2-4 members from you business, wearing business names and going out on the trail. The teams can dress in costumes, do silly antics, help other teams on the trail, and hand out coupons.

Those who cannot make the meeting and need more information can get in touch with Funk and ACT and they will be happy to help. She said: “Even if you do not plan to participate, please help get the word out to your customers and mail-lists. We can all benefit from this event.”

The final meeting is 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 21 in the banquet room at American Exchange Hotel. The 49er Treasure Trail is set for March 24-25.

Amador Council of Tourism is located at 115 Valley View Way in Sutter Creek. For information, call (209) 267-9249.
