THE HENRY HUDSON
QUADRICENTENNIAL QUEST


This is an exciting year in New York State! All up and down the Hudson Valley, communities are celebrating the Quadricentennial of the discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson.  That’s what Cairo’s Bears and Butterflies 2009 is all about.  Our bodacious and brilliant bears have come up with an exciting and educational quest for you and your family to enjoy while learning fun facts about Henry Hudson and his journey.
 
Join in the adventure, be a ‘QUEST EXPLORER” and become eligible to win these exciting prizes:
  • Grand Prizes: Season Pass to Windham Mountain (2 prizes available)
  • 2nd Prize:  22” Flat Screen TV
  • 3rd Prize:  Two-day Get-Away for Two at Winter Clove Resort
  • 4th Prizes:  Windham Mountain Day Pass, Gift Baskets, Dining Gift Certificates, and other exciting prizes
  Here's how to play:

1. Use the Quest Map to visit each of our unique bears.  While enjoying each of Cairo's Cubs, look for the hidden butterflies somewhere in each bear's design.

2.  Inside one of the butterflies on each bear you will find a clue (a letter from A-Z or a symbol) that corresponds to one of the “Quadricentennial ‘Quest”ions” about Henry Hudson.  As you go along, write down the cub’s letter or symbol in the space after that bear's title on the “Henry Hudson Answer Sheet”.

3. Now, match each bear’s letter or symbol to its corresponding question and write down the correct answer next to that bear’s title. All the correct answers can be found by reading  "A History of Henry Hudson".

If you match:
    All 40 bears with their correct answers
---You become eligible to win

    any one of the above prizes.
