Who’s got the beat? Poke Salat Festival “Beats in the Street Percussion Showcase” • Saturday May 17th • 10:30 am in front of the stage.

Bring your drums & sticks and lets have fun!

If you have buckets and drum sticks or dowels you can donate, or old percussion toys, let us know. We want kids at the Festival to be able to join in the fun and play along.

Joe and Jenny will show the kids different beats and help them be a part of the event.

If you know any drummers please tag them and share the post to help us get the word out about this new fun event at the 41st Annual Poke Salat Festival.

Welcome to See The Season!

We are excited to share this list of decorated homes, neighborhoods and businesses with you. The list (and scavenger hunt) are posted here as 4 images, or you may download a .pdf file here: www. pokesalatfestival.com/seetheseason.pdf

While we did have some people message us and say they had decorated and wanted to be included, for the most part we drove all over town looking for decorated homes and businesses. Please understand that there is no way to include every single home that has lights up, because it would encompass nearly every road in town. That’s 120 miles of roads. And on the evening we went out, some people may not have had their lights on. Closer to Christmas you have a higher chance of seeing everything.

Follow these directions and if you keep your eyes open, you’ll likely see side streets and roads with more decorations. The list starts on the east side of Hwy 231, south of town, and moves north in a winding trail. At one point it will take you onto 12th Ave NW and the trail moves south on the west side of Hwy 231.

Throughout the City there is a variety of huge displays, whole neighborhoods decorated, roads with several displays but not necessarily grouped together, light shows, inflatables, or something extra. We are going to mark BIG decorations with an asterisk.

In addition to the See The Season list, make sure you stop by Arab City Park and walk the walking trails to see the amazing display put up by Arab Park and Rec and the City.

Play some holiday music while driving around and enjoy the night.

For fun we’ve added a Christmas Decoration Scavenger Hunt! There are two ways to play this game. Everyone in the car looks together and see who can find an item first. Or, print out a list for each person and see who can complete their list first.

The most important part – have fun. Make memories.

Merry Christmas from Growing Wild Events

PS: We know that an actual marked map would be easier, but have tried to include all the “turn here and there” that you’ll need to see as much of the City’s decorations as possible. Since this is not exact GPS addresses, but more full streets and neighborhoods, this is how we worked out getting the information to you for now. We are working on having a map system before next year and will do our best to bring that to fruition.

CLUE #4
(Scroll back on the posts if you need the earlier clues)

Santa’s Ornament Scavenger Hunt details:

We’re excited that Arab Rocks has joined the fun and the Arab Prize Rock is hidden with the wooden ornament.

Follow the clues and you could win TWO prizes: the handpainted ornament and a $25 gift card to Warehouse Discount Groceries!!!!

You must like or follow Growing Wild Events page to be eligible to win.

You could win a handpainted ornament from local artisan Dliz Gentry.

We are hiding a flat wooden ornament that you will trade for the actual ornament.

Clues will start out a little vague, but as you put the clues together each day, you should figure it out.

It will be hidden in Arab City limits on public property.

It will always be hidden where it's safe for you to be.

It will always be hidden outdoors, never inside a building or business.

It will always be left at least partially visible, never buried or completely hidden (like buried under leaves or under a box or flower pot that you would have to pick up). We have a couple of helpers that will “spy” on the hidden ornament to be sure it’s still there and still at least partially visible.

Please be respectful of property when searching for the ornament. You are responsible for any damages caused by you or your children.

One clue will be posted each day around 9 am until the ornament is found.

When you find the hidden ornament, take a photo and post it to the page or send it in messenger for us to post. We’ll make arrangements to meet and trade for you ornament.

Most importantly, this is meant to be fun. Gather some friends or family and make a game of it!! Have fun!

Good luck!
