A PETERSFIELD Easter hunt that swapped eggs for socks raised £395 for The Down’s Syndrome Association.

Organised by Bethany Puckett of Mackarness and Lunt solicitors in High Street, the hunt was for paper socks hanging in the windows of town businesses, including the Post.

Others who joined The High Street Sock Hunt were: Winkworth and Haart estate agents, Heidi’s Patisserie, Biscoes solicitors, Winton House community centre, Frasers men’s outfitters, and Mackarness and Lunt.

Bethany’s brother Daniel, who has Down’s syndrome, was one of those who took part.

Children were given a map to follow and they ticked the socks off as they went.

There was also a raffle with prizes donated by the businesses.

Bethany said: “All the children I came across were really excited to be taking part and were all thrilled by the idea of a treasure hunt.”

She has written a blog about her experience with Daniel for the association which can be found at www.downs-syndrome.org.uk/news/my-brother-daniel/
