Remember how you helped us choose West-tin's name? Thanks again to everyone who took part! We had so much fun bringing West-tin to life with your help.

Well, we've been doing a little more brainstorming!

What if West-tin traded his detective cap for a Santa hat this Christmas and went on a special holiday adventure?

We're thinking of adding a festive twist to our How Well Do You Know New West? game by featuring local businesses all dressed up for Christmas!

Imagine West-tin popping up in photos of beautifully decorated storefronts and Christmas window displays, challenging you to figure out where he's hiding!

And here's where it gets even more fun...

What if all of you helped us find those festive locations?

We're thinking of inviting anyone who's interested to become one of West-tin's Christmas Scouts, keeping an eye out for great Christmas displays around New West and sending us photos that could become part of the game.

But before we get too carried away with the tinsel, we'd love to know what you think!

🎅 Would you like to help West-tin bring a little extra joy to New West this Christmas?

TAKE OUR QUICK SURVEY

It's just an idea for now, but we're excited to see what all of you think. Who knows where West-tin's Christmas adventures might take us! 🎄❤️
