Where's Irene? Fun Lake Activity Summer Lake Scavenger Hunt

There’s nothing better than a summer tradition that brings neighbors, friends, and lake families together — and the Lake Irene Preservation Association in Miltona, MN has one of the most fun traditions around.

This summer, their social committee is keeping the laughs and lake adventures going with their “Where’s Irene?” activity. Inspired by the classic idea of Where’s Waldo?, the group takes turns hiding a mannequin named Irene around the lake for others to find. It’s a creative, lighthearted way to get people out exploring, connecting, and enjoying everything lake life has to offer.

To help celebrate the fun, we created custom “Where’s Irene?” shirts for them. The red shirts are easy to spot and full of personality — just like Irene herself! Whether she’s tucked away near a dock, hiding by the shoreline, or making a surprise appearance somewhere unexpected, these shirts help bring the whole activity together.

We loved working on this project because it’s exactly what custom apparel is all about: creating something unique that represents a group, a place, and a shared tradition. The Lake Irene social committee brought the energy, and these shirts are a perfect match for their summer fun.

A big thank-you to the Lake Irene Preservation Association for letting us be part of this playful lake tradition. Now the only question is…Where's Irene?
