More on Treasure Hunt:
The WEAR and West Florida Healthcare DeLuna Treasure Hunt, part of the 60th Fiesta of Five Flags celebration, will take place April 20 – May 8.
Clues will begin on Monday, April 20 on the 5 p.m. WEAR ABC 3 news broadcast. After the first clue is announced, new treasure clues will be announced Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on WEAR ABC 3 and repeated on local radio stations. You may also find clues on www.weartv.com, www.fiestaoffiveflags.org, and www.pnj.com.
History tells us that after being ravaged by a hurricane, Don Tristan DeLuna departed Pensacola, but only after leaving behind many treasures, now hidden for hundreds of years. Each year, the Fiesta of Five Flags uncovers a series of historical references to the whereabouts of DeLuna’s treasure and offers these clues to the public to find these old and new and very valuable items.
This historically based treasure hunt is one of the most popular Fiesta events for individuals, school groups, and families!
Grand Prize Includes:
$2,000 cash
A 14K gold necklace with Spanish Reale from Jewelers Trade Shop
Second Place Prize Includes:
$700 cash
Third Place Prize Includes:
$300 cash
Drawing for 2nd and 3rd place prizes will be awarded from completed map mailed into the Fiesta office.
In addition to the competitive historically based treasure hunt, there will be a “Fiesta Fun Hunt” based on a second set of clues on the map. The prize for the winner of the Fun Hunt is $350 cash.
All details are on the maps which are free and available beginning April 13 at all primary care locations of West Florida Healthcare. For a list of locations, please click here.
