Ormond Bridge Puzzle

Click to Enlarge

Have you…

• Ever tried to solve a puzzle so big that spans a river?
• Ever wanted to create and take home a piece of art?
• Ever wanted to learn a bit of Ormond Beach’s history from INSIDE its historical buildings?
• Ever wanted to get some exercise with several thousand of your neighbors?

The Ormond Bridge Puzzle is a unique annual event with the ambitious goal of stimulating the minds, improving the health, and stoking the creative embers of ALL who live in or near our community.

Seabreeze High School AP Chemistry teacher and local author Robert Hernandez has created a Puzzle for Ormond’s residents to solve. The clues are spread throughout the corners of the Granada Bridge. Finding them is just the beginning. Puzzlers will have to assemble them correctly and decipher their secrets. To do so, they will need to walk the Granada Bridge, meander in and out of some of Ormond Beach’s historical sites, and create a piece of art. If successful, Puzzlers will go home with the satisfaction of being clever enough to have mastered the challenge. They will also have a better, more intimate understanding of Ormond’s history; and they’ll be holding a piece of art they created themselves.

The event begins promptly at 9:00AM, Saturday February 18, 2012 at the Casements’ Stage in Rockefeller Gardens, and runs until noon. It is free to the public… Anyone with an imagination, a sense of adventure, and who is fit enough to walk a bit over  two miles is welcomed and invited to participate.

Are you up for the challenge?  Be there promptly at 9AM.
