Hammond-Henry Hospital is offering a community-wide coin hunt to kick off the celebration of 125 years that the hospital has “improved the quality of life through excellence in health care to local residents.”
There are 125 commemorative coins hidden in the Geneseo area. (See attached map).
The hunt for coins begins Saturday, June 20. Coins will be visible so those people hunting the coins are asked not to dig up the ground, rummage through or disturb merchandise while looking for a coin.
Participating businesses will display a flyer in the front of their establishment if a coin is inside.
Coins that are found may be taken to Hammond-Henry Hospital to claim a prize at the front desk at the north entrance. Prizes may be claimed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday.
Upcoming 125th anniversary events during the next few months include Hammond-Henry Historical Timeline to be showcased on first floor, student artwork and stories, time capsule display and “Generations Upon Generations” video.
