Today we kick off the . Here is the first clue: 

Looking for a quiet corner near the center of it all? Check out this historic town landmark, but remember to use your indoor voices.

Once you have figured out where the clue leads, it is your responsibility to find the Patch item at the clue location, take a photo of yourself with the item (aren't cell phones great?!) and post it in this article.

Remember, you want to get to the clue location quickly—there are only five Patch items at each location. What if you get there and the items are already gone? That's OK. Take a picture of yourself at the clue location to prove you were there. You'll still receive credit! 

North Reading Patch will keep a running tally of each participant's photos. For each photo of the participant and the Patch item, you will receive two points. For each photo of the participant at the clue location, you will receive one point. The Patch user (or users) with the most points will win!
