Directions: Riley the Raccoon has been talking about the below locations lately, so we think you should start there! When you get to each location, there will be a sign with Riley’s picture. Each sign will have one or two letters for you to write on the form to the right. Once you visit those (6) locations and collect all (7) letters, you’ll want to unscramble them to discover the FINAL location where Riley may have fallen asleep after a long day of exploring. This final location will also instruct you on where to turn in this form for entry into the prize drawing—due by the end of February. Don’t Rescue Riley the Raccoon alone — use the hashtag #RescueTheRaccoon on social media to get your friends, family, and coworkers involved!

  • Racoon River Park Boathouse
  • MidAmerican Energy Company RecPlex
