Congratulations to Drew & Kellie Hartzo, who found the 2019 NCMC Ruby Collins Memorial Redbud Treasure! They braved the sprinkling rain & chilly weather and got out to search this evening on a hunch and it paid off! The treasure was hidden on the back of a sign on a pole on Airport Road. Drew and Kellie said after work today, Drew had a hunch as to the location and convinced Kellie to go out searching. Luckily for her, she agreed! Pictured with them are Ashley Ezell, La Redbud President; Staci Fargerson, La Redbud 2nd Vice President; and Kelly Rice, La Redbud Treasurer.

Again, congratulations!!

NCMC Ruby Collins Memorial Redbud Treasure Hunt Clue #1
The NCMC Ruby Collins Memorial Redbud Treasure Hunt is here.
The first clue is the same each year:
Do not dig, do not climb –
On public property, the treasure you’ll find.
**this clue is the same each year to give rules**

NCMC Ruby Collins Memorial Redbud Treasure Hunt Clue #2
Up and down the streets and roads, we look along.
There’s no right way to search, and no wrong.
**this clue gave direction and was to be used with a later clue that we didn’t get to which gave a very subtle hint on direction. the treasure was located on the right side of Airport Road when traveling west.**

NCMC Ruby Collins Memorial Redbud Treasure Hunt Clue #3
The years have flown by so fast, there’s fifty-four in our past.
They say age 55 is a perfect ten, but Vegas says it’s a “hard 10” to win.
**”flown” was the key word here, being the treasure was hidden off of Airport Road.**
