Lots of Fun at the Rehoboth Land Trust Puzzle-A-Thon

Thank you to everyone who joined the Rehoboth Land Trust for our first Puzzle-A-Thon fundraiser! Thirteen teams were each given their own copy of the same 300-piece puzzle and raced to complete as much as they could in one hour. Friends and family came to cheer them on, enjoy tasty homemade treats, and listen to the fabulous live music provided by Woody & the Westside Warblers.

Congratulations to team Prickly Pear, for finishing the puzzle first! These two focused and experienced puzzlers prepared for the event by practicing with their own puzzles. Congratulations also to team All Puzzled Up, which won the prize for the greatest number of sponsors with a whopping 19 sponsors!

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who donated to support the teams, the Rehoboth Land Trust raised more than $3,000! This money will be used to fund land preservation right here in town, as well as help to maintain the more than 700 acres that Rehoboth Land Trust currently protects.

The custom-made puzzle featured images of animals and plants that can be found in Rehoboth, along with the phrase that encapsulates the event’s theme: “We’re all a piece of the land conservation puzzle!” All of the photographs were taken by Rehoboth residents.
