Announcing the 2nd Annual Wild Boar and Beer BBQ Scavenger Hunt Winner!

Congratulations to Nicole Nytchay, who earned 211 out of a possible 260 points in Slow Food Edmonton’s second annual Wild Boar and Beer BBQ Scavenger Hunt! Nicole and a guest will be treated to wild boar and a host of other local, seasonal dishes at the Wild Boar and Beer BBQ on August 8 at the Alley Kat Brewery (tickets for the BBQ are still available, and can be purchased at Alley Kat , or online here).

Nicole said she had a lot of fun completing the scavenger hunt, and it shows in her photos! I am amazed she was able to capture 24 out of the 25 items on the list – the only one she missed out on was the iced drinking chocolate at Kerstin’s Chocolates because the shop was closed last week! Here are some of her photos:

In front of a community garden (Our Urban Eden, at 99 Avenue and Bellamy Road)

Congrats again, Nicole – see you at the BBQ!
