Each challenge was named after a book to follow along with the fact that we were raising money for the Poynette Area Public Library. I’m going to blog about each challenge – the clue to find the challenge, the challenge itself and exactly what each team had to do at each challenge.

Once teams licked their fingers clean they received a clue to the next challenge:

Somewhere between the sunflowers and tomato alley, our cat friend Dewey has a challenge for you. Decide on 2 team members that will participate in this challenge.

Teams waddled to the meadow area for their next challenge:

"Dewey" by Vicki Myron Challenge

Two members of your team must organize the stack of books as they would be alphabetized at the library onto the cart. Time will be stopped when you have your books organized on the cart. The judge will then check your work. For each incorrect book a 10 second penalty will be incurred. When your work is done, checked and recorded you will receive your next clue.
