CAMDEN, S.C. — Like Boykin Spaniels? Head over to downtown Camden, where you can see twelve Boykin Spaniel statues scattered throughout the city. The little statues might look like they are just for design, but they have a point behind them, a scavenger hunt.
"Several years ago, we're sitting around thinking of something we can do here in Camden that is very Camden and would be fun, especially for kids," said Rickie Good, Director of the Revolutionary War Visitor Center at Camden.
Good said the scavenger hunt is good for families. "It gives families a chance to do something, especially if it's a Sunday or later in the evening and things are closed, or there is just not a lot to do. It's always fun."
As fun as it is, there is a special meaning to the statues. "Boykin is where the Boykin Spaniel was developed, and also the Boykin Spaniel is the South Carolina state dog."

For anyone wanting to get involved in the scavenger hunt, Good says to come to the Revolutionary War Visitor Center and ask for the scavenger hunt. Those who play will receive a pamphlet of hints, and if you can't figure it out, the answers are on the back.
