Martin said the past three years of the Ice Cream Trail photo scavenger hunt has been a challenge, but added the township has a great team, with support- ive businesses, like the 11 that took part in 2013, to make it a unique event to draw visitors to the area. "A lot of people have their hands in it," said Martin. `And I think that's the nature of the Trail, to partner with businesses and help make it a success." Over 800 participants have completed and submitted their photos as entry into a draw for Huron -Kinloss Bucks, to be spent at stores within the township. Mar- tin said last year's theme centred around Lucknow and Ripley's 150th fall fairs and work is currently underway on a new theme for the 2014 season. The Ice Cream Trail's award edged out the Municipality of Kincardine's `Trust Us It's Big' tourism campaign promoting the Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band's Sat- urday Night Parade, which featured t -shirts, posters and billboards in various locations around Ontario, as well as the Niagara Region's Shaw Festival. The Ice Cream Trail contest returns in May 2013. For more information about the Ice Cream Trail visit: www.icecreamtrail.ca
