Pelham’s 2nd Annual Elf Adventure Offers Fun, Prizes, and Local Support!

Pelham’s Festive Elf Adventure is Back for Round Two!

Hey there, Pelham residents! Get ready to dash through the shops because the 2nd Annual Elf Adventure is returning to town, and it’s going to be a blast! This year, the beloved Pete the Pelham Elf is on the move, hiding in 11 local retail businesses just waiting for you to find him. So, gather up your friends and family, because it’s time for a holiday hunt you won’t want to miss!

How Does It Work?

It’s super simple! Start by picking up an Elf Adventure Passport, which you can grab at the Pelham Recreation Center or download from the city’s website. Your mission is to visit each of the participating retailers, find Pete the Elf, and get your passport stamped at each stop. Remember, you’ll want to snap a photo with Pete along the way and share it on social media. Be sure to tag the local business and use the hashtag #PelhamElfAdventure to spread the cheer! It’s a fantastic way to capture the festive spirit while supporting our local shops.
