Stephanie Valle (KVIA News reporter) found the first 2 hearts hidden in Downtown El Paso! Go find’em yourself!
The Downtown Management District (DMD) is paving the way to Valentine’s Day with the second annual Hidden Hearts contest, giving the public the opportunity to win Valentine’s inspired prizes, sponsored by downtown businesses. “The contest was so well received by the public last year that we decided to bring it back. This time we have more prizes and new clues,” said Joe Gudenrath, DMD Executive Director.
Papel picado hearts will be hidden in businesses throughout downtown in each of the five (5) districts each week, leading up to Valentine’s Day. Multiple prizes will be given away each week for each hidden heart and every participant is automatically entered for a chance to win the grand prize. The grand prize “Dream Date Package” includes a pedicab ride from Pedicabs El Paso, dinner for two (2) at Tabla, and two (2) tickets for a concert hosted by El Paso Pro-Musica!
