A FAMILY treasure hunt is being launched on Saturday as part of Halesowen in Bloom with a search for blue butterflies hiding in shop around the town.

The competition has become a regular feature helping to raise awareness of Halesowen in Bloom - wihich has the butterfly as its logo - and bringing the business community together.

Every butterfly has a name, which once found, has to be written on the treasure hunt map, available from Halesowen Library. Entries should be posted in the butterfly box when complete by Saturday August 6.

The treasure hunt is a little later this year so that it coincides with the school holidays to give families a better chance of taking part.
