The scavenger hunt will consist of exploring LPZ in search of clues to trivia based upon the zoo and its animal inhabitants. Note that the answers to questions will be a mix of both writing and photographs taken of your finds, so you will certainly be put to the test! The questions will be in both English and Japanese (and you can respond in either language), giving you an opportunity to practice your language skills and maybe even learn a few new words along the way. Registration can be made as a group (max 4 people) or individually, where you will be assigned to a group, so you can sign up with your friends or make new friends on the hunt. The event is open to YPC\/JETAA\/AAAYA members and non-members in hopes that everyone can come together to network, share their knowledge of trivia, and importantly, have fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>10)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JETAA Minnesota (JETAAMN)<\/p>\n<p>When:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 19<sup>th<\/sup> August<\/p>\n<p>Time:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 15:00 \u2013 21:00 CDT<\/p>\n<p>Place:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Como Park Zoo and Conservatory<\/p>\n<p>1225 Estabrook Dr, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55103<\/p>\n<p>The Obon Festival encompasses Japanese tradition \u2013 through music, dance, crafts, martial arts and lanterns.
