Unicorn and rainbow family-friendly activities will be the theme for June’s First Friday with a sticker scavenger hunt passport, games and crafts, a ribbon cutting, art shows, live music and after hours shopping. All come together to create fun for all ages on First Friday June 3, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
The First Friday passport activity is the “Unicorns & Rainbows Sticker Scavenger Hunt”. Find Eunice the Unicorn in each participating location, see the “clue” she’s sitting next to and add the corresponding sticker to the business spot on the passport. Passports and sticker sheets can be picked up at the Downtown Camas Association (DCA) tables in Journey Church, 304 NE 4th. Drop off your completed passport to the DCA tables to enter to win unicorn and rainbow themed prize baskets. The more places you go, the more chances you have to win.

“Last year was our first Unicorns & Rainbows Sticker Scavenger Hunt and people loved it!” says Carrie Schulstad, director for the DCA. “It’s a great way to explore our downtown shops and have fun with your family and friends. We’re so very happy to also get to celebrate with Naturally Healthy Pet and cheer them in their new location. We encourage everyone to dress up in the theme and come on down and support our downtown small businesses.”
First Fridays are Art, Activities, Dining, and After Hours Shopping themed family friendly events coordinated by the DCA each month of the year to support downtown and develop community.
