Candy Quest

Arts Council Galleries at Campbell House:  482 East Connecticut Ave., Southern Pines

Beginning January 15, the first of 30 Venetian glass candies will be hidden somewhere on the grounds of the Campbell House or in the adjoining park. One candy per day will be hidden at some point in the day, whether or not the previous days’ treasure has been found. Each glass candy will be in a 3 inch white jewelry box in a cellophane bag with instructions of how to register your numbered find. If your Candy Quest is successful, and you have followed the registration instructions, you will be entered into a Grand Prize drawing for a Valentine’s Day gift basket.  

Rules: Please keep only ONE glass candy per household.

  • The hours for Candy Quest seeking are daily from 8AM until dusk from January 15 through February 13, rain or shine.
  • Register your find using the Red Candy Quest button below to be entered to the Grand Prize drawing, enabling us to keep track when candies are found. You must register by Feb 13 at 6pm in order to be entered into the drawing.
