EoE Treasure Hunt: Louisiana Prize

30 May 2009 in Treasure Hunt

Still unclaimed, the reward for finding the Ends of Earth decal–two general admission tickets to Shreveport’s Sci-Port Center, a $24 value. I know people have looked up the decal location because I have had a handful of friends personally mention it to me. Apparently, however, no one has yet to actually drive there to get it.

Paraphrased excerpts from Sci-Port’s website:

Sci-Port: LOUISIANA’S Science Center is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Sci-Port is a 92,000 square-foot science and entertainment center in Shreveport-Bossier, featuring over 290 science, space science, technology and math exhibits; daily changing programs, an IMAX Dome Theatre, open-access, interactive, laser SPACE DOME Planetarium, gift shop and café. Sci-Port provides a fun, educational environment for people of all ages to explore and actively engage in the world of mathematics, science and technology.

My game plan with these treasures is to continue planting decals and securing rewards for the winners, regardless of whether or not past hidden treasures have been found. I won’t place a decal somewhere until I have found a reward. Rewards will vary, but I am going to try to find organizations that support something meaningful. Shreveport’s Sci-Port Center, a non-profit education and entertainment complex, is a perfect example. If you make a trip to Sci-Port as a result of reading about it here, whether you won or not, please let them know you read about them on endsofearth.com. Sci-Port is excited about this and hopefully we can generate some extra interest for them since they were generous enough to offer up two tickets!

I plan on posting two total posts for each treasure. One will provide clues or coordinates, while the other discusses the prize. By limiting the posts, I can keep the “Treasure Hunt” theme from overpowering some of the other planned entries.

  1. We have a winner!! Finally. I thought the decal might be out there a few more weeks and that I would have to ask someone to remove it.

    I hope the winner enjoys his Sci-Port tickets and I hope Sci-Port gets at least a little traction out of this!

  5. Awesome. Keep us updated on how the Sci-Port trip goes. Unfortunately, the next one will probably be in Utah somewhere!
