During the month of October, Forever Northwest will be giving clues to where you can find wooden pins hidden in and around McMinnville and Newberg!
Each week in October, we'll be hiding wooden pins in some of our favorite natural areas. Hints will be given on Instagram and Facebook, so you'll need to be following to make sure you don't miss out!
Some pins may include extra surprises like gift cards from local businesses (see below), and even a chance to win a Cascade Mountain Range Hoodie 😮
We'll also be releasing some new pin designs throughout the month.
If you don't live in Yamhill County, or you're not able to join the search, you can enter to win wooden pins by following along on Instagram or Facebook. When we post hints about the hidden pin, we'll give you a keyword to enter on this page using the form below. Each week, we'll choose one winner and each week you'll get two chances to enter!
Thank you to our Pintober partners!
