Explore the district in your self-guided hunt, grab a coffee to fuel your search, scout around for local hidden gems, and find Easter eggs in the process!
Take your find to Copper & Wax (2701 N 48th St, Lincoln, NE 68504) during posted hours to redeem a prize, including a variety of goods and gifts from our local businesses.
