I received a newsletter from the Boston Ballet last night in my e-mail. I am a member and this newsletter was marked urgent. Apparently 20 "special" toe-shoes have been hidden around town as a sort of treasure hunt with clues given each week on the Web site, www.bostonballet.org/season/specialevent_ToeShoeTreasure.html .
Well interestingly enough, it seems that the Boston Ballet public relations office decided to take matters into their own hands to promote and increase interest in their spring season. The one downfall, it seems the news of the below freezing temperatures in Boston hasn't reached them yet.
Despite the bitter cold we are all facing in Beantown as we speak (except for me, I'm in a well-heated home right now) it seems to be like a fun event for dance-lovers and families with young children alike.
Hell, I want to go find one of these special toe-shoes and win prizes such as a spring subscription to the Boston Ballet for 2 (2 tickets to all of their shows in other words) and a "hidden treasure" from EB Horn.

Each Friday between January 19 and February 9, the Web site will show a different clue to help the treasure hunters find these elusive dance footwear.
If you are interested and think you can crack these clues, here's a taste from last week:
Last week's clue:Follow the brick path to the end of town where a Native American runs parallel with a President or two.
And as if that wasn't hint enough, the radio station 98.5 that is a co-sponsor will be hosting events at specific locations where the shoes "may" be hidden.
