Great South Coast TREASURE HUNT



Great fun for the entire family!

During the 1600's and 1700's, Shelburne County was a Pirate Haven. Our fishing villages and coves were used as hideaways. Pirate " Ned Lowe" - the original "Jack Sparrow" of Pirates of The Caribbean fame -  stopped in Shelburne Harbour and McNutts Island to " take some time off ". The harbours and coves of Shelburne County, for the Pirates of the Atlantic, were a place of rest and Holiday !!

Near the last of June this year, all the clues you'll need can be had for a 20 dollar bill if you can somehow prove you have pirate blood - or even a pirate "spirit". Pirates from the age of 16 and up can get their clues and "hunt er down" !!  The first clues will all be given out to the Pirates at the same time and $1000 in gold loonies could be yours for the takin !! KEEP YOUR EYE GLASS ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE FOR UPDATES !! AR-R-R-R MATIES !!

The fun begins after first quarter of the moon in the month of June 2015.... June 26th, 2015 to be exact. You 'n' those there scurvy scallywags drag your sorry keesters out t'th'ship' an join us on a grand great adventuaaarrr!

Ya know, we dont want t'keelhaul ya. Present yourself at the "Sea Dog Saloon" down at the waterfront in Shelburne BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 6 AND 8 PM ON JUNE 26th.
