Residents of East Peoria and surrounding communities will have a chance to win more than $1,000 in prizes if they can Find Folepi this holiday season.

The Find Folepi ornament hunt, now in its fourth year, began Nov, 25 with the release of the first clue.

A 3-inch round clear acrylic Folepi ornament will be hidden somewhere on public property within the East Peoria city limits. The hiding place could be indoors or outside and in a non-dangerous location. Clues will be issued weekly until the Folepi ornament is found.

Clues will be posted on Wednesdays on www.folepi.org, on www.facebook.com/EPFestivalofLights, and on a large Folepi cutout located outdoors at the Festival Building, 2200 E. Washington St.

The ornament hunt is open to residents throughout Central Illinois. Those participating in the hunt are encouraged to be respectful of property and to park in safe locations that do not block traffic.
