Complimentary souvenirs will be given at each Challenge location.

Bonus Lights MAY include TWO beautiful locations:

  • Fort Washington Bell/Light Tower
  • Blackistone Lighthouse Replica

Visiting these Lighthouses is not counted toward event completion, but will take the challengers to more beautiful Bay Lighthouse locations, earning them an extra event souvenir! *One Souvenir per challenger.
