Everybody knows that Columbia rocks, but did you know there’s an easy and free way for your family to express that sentiment? The project is called CoMo Rocks, which, at its core, is a community-wide hide-and-seek game that sparks creativity within the people of the city.
The premise is simple: you decorate and hide rocks anywhere outside for people to find. The person who finds the decorated rock can then hide the rock in another location. Or they can keep the rock and decorate a new one to hide. This creates a perpetual cycle of making, hiding and finding. Fairview Park, Stephens Lake Park and Cosmo Park are just a few of the common locales for hiding and hunting your rocks.
The CoMo Rocks project is picking up more steam than ever, as the Facebook page recently surpassed 1,000 members. Surrounding areas are participating as well: Ashland and Fulton are both playing, and Jefferson City has over 13,000 members in its Facebook group! These Facebook pages (linked above) tend to be the place that people gather to discuss, leave hints and show off their findings of the day. Check out the flyer and the Facebook groups to get more info. Get creative, get outside and get rocking!
