COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Downtown Partnership organized a 'Mom's Day Out' sticker scavenger hunt in Colorado Springs, giving mothers a Mother's Day preview with a day of fun, discounts and freebies.

The first 125 moms to show up outside of Good Intentions on Tejon Street received a free reusable tumbler to kick off the hunt.

Participants then made their way around Downtown, visiting shops and boutiques to find and collect stickers while taking advantage of one-day discounts.

Shoppers who gathered at least five stickers from participating shops, plus one from event sponsor Underline, earned a free lemonade from Pikes Peak Lemonade, which went into the tumblers given out at the start of the event.

"This day is about them so they get to have a good time and not work. She's just such a safe spot and she's so kind and passionate, so courageous and she's so beautiful and amazing and I love her cooking."
Violett and Calliope

Participating shops included the following:

  • Good Intentions
  • Cacao Chemistry
  • Savory Spice/Pine & Pepper
  • Good Eye
  • Novis Mortem
  • Sparrow Hawk
  • Terra Verde
  • Eclectic Co.
  • Colorado Co-Op
