The Great Sturgeon Search
Established in 2015
The Great Sturgeon Search is a project which was created by the Shawano Leadership class of 2015. We wanted to create an event that was free, unique, and an enjoyable experience that will attract more visitors and community members to the downtown Main Street area. The Great Sturgeon Search is a FREE, outdoor scavenger hunt for all to enjoy! There are 11 sturgeon sculptures hidden on buildings along Main Street in Shawano. Clue Cards were made to help find where they are all hidden. Can you find them all?


A special "Thank You" to all who made this project a reality!
