Slice of History: A Race Through Time
Sponsored by a Friend of the Betsy Ross House, Pizza to the Polls and Yards Brewing Company
Teams of two will compete different challenges across Old City. The race begins at Arch Street Meeting House, where they will be given a clue to kick start their adventure! Once their task has been completed, teams will search for our Founding Fathers throughout Old City or learn an historic story to recite. Their final task will take them outside Arch Street Meeting House, where they will complete one more challenging task before they race to the Betsy Ross House to meet Betsy Ross herself.
The first team to complete each game will win a prize. All the participants will enjoy a pizza party with beer, courtesy of our friends at Yards Brewing Company, in the Besty Ross House courtyard.
