What a fun activity, thank you for putting this together!!  We found some places we hadn't been to before 🙂

We had a blast of a day running around our great city! Thanks for such a fun way to be reminded of all our city offers and how it all began.

This was really fun! Thank you!

We all had a lot of fun and learned some interesting UA History!

Thank you for this fun, informative activity! We had a blast seeing all the spots around UA!

Thanks again for hosting, we really enjoy the clues and had the perfect day to explore and take our photos!

Thank you for organizing this event again this year -- we really enjoyed it again!

And finally, this first for UA Quest:

Our team photo sessions got interrupted by one of our team members having contractions to deliver a brand new UA Golden Baby Bear for all of us to love.  : )  We are all excited about that!  Thank you again for all your time and efforts toward the Quest.  It is a fabulous idea and a great way to spend time learning more about the community we love.   

welcome to this special baby! may she love UA and its history! 


As with any of our events, it takes a literal village to make it happen. Special thanks to the Upper Arlington Civic Association and the City of UA for their contributions, and the many UA businesses listed for their dedication to our community. Virtual "high-fives" to Mark Abell, Matt Prescott, Liz Rothermich, Kathy Panning, Kate Brody, Amy Saunders and Laura Youngblood Bruce for their hands-on help.
