The contest works like a scavenger hunt.  Contestants must locate a mini scale replica of the famous Santa and Reindeer display at a different downtown business every day the week of November 12-16.  Clues leading to Santa&#8217;s location will be announced daily on the Downtown Improvement District&#8217;s Facebook page and on Magic 95.1.  One lucky winner will get the chance to light the GIANT Santa and Reindeer display at PNC Bank on the &#8220;Night of Lights&#8221; with three of their friends and\/or family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Win<\/strong>:  Catch contest clues on the DID&#8217;s Facebook page and on Majic 95.1 and hunt down the mini Santa display downtown daily.  Snap a picture of yourself with the display and email that photo to Stephen@downtownfortwayne.com (be sure to include &#8220;Downtown Santa Sighting&#8221; in the subject line).  Your photo with the mini Santa display enters you into the grand prize drawing to become the lucky winner who will light the BIG Santa &amp; reindeer on the night before Thanksgiving.  The more days you find and photograph yourself with Santa, the more times you&#8217;re entered to WIN!  Entries are limited to one photo per person per day (Maximum of 5 total entries).  <\/p>\n<p>For more information including contest rules visit: <span class=\"removed_link\"
