UPDATE, March 5:

Darien Dash, which had been scheduled for this Saturday, March 9, has been cancelled by the Darien Youth Commission due to an unexpected circumstance for an organizer (unrelated to the event). Refunds will be made for any registration payments. Original article, Feb 25:

Registration is open for the Darien Dash, a town-wide scavenger hunt that takes place Saturday, March 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. Teams registered for the event will compete by answering town-based riddles and by visiting participating stores based on clues. The third annual Darien Dash, organized by the Darien Youth Commission, begins at the Town Hall gym and ends at The Depot Youth Center on Heights Road, where points will be tallied and prizes given to winners. First, second and third place prizes will go to the teams with the most points.

To the editor:

So who knows Darien Best??? As winners of the Darien Youth Commission’s second Annual Darien Dash, apparently Jim O’Brien, Kiera O’Brien, Whitney Scallon, Sophia Condon & Lindsey Turner do!

The second annual community-wide scavenger hunt included many elements. Some of the expected components were: puzzle solving; geographical planning & mapping; and photography. Some of the unexpected elements included good, clean competition; intergenerational cooperation; a whole lot of smiles, reflection & fun!
