#ONLOCATION
#ONLOCATION
Some of the best adventures are the ones never planned for! Our #ONLOCATION initiative is about letting you know where we are going to be, so you may join in.
When life is busy, it's sometimes hard to nail down a date and with family, things can change quickly. This is a way for WTH to let you know what is happening a few days or few hours out. Sometimes things shift, providing an opportunity to fit something fun in. This is what #ONLOCATION is all about.
Here is how it works. Make sure you follow our social media platforms and set your notification to on. When one of our Ambassadors is #ONLOCATION information and details will be shared. Facebook/Instagram/Twitter @womenthathunt. Join us #ONLOCATION. It could be fishing, fiddlehead picking, kayaking, blueberry picking...anything really. You never know what we will be up to. Be sure to check out the calendar for other opportunities.
