SAN RAFAEL, CA — The Downtown San Rafael Business Improvement will host the 4th Annual Downtown San Rafael Elf Hunt starting Saturday.

A group of mischievous elves has left the North Pole and is now hiding in businesses along Downtown San Rafael's 4th Street, between Lincoln and H Street. Explore the shops, enjoy the restaurants, and admire the beautifully decorated windows as you hunt for these tricksters.

To participate, first pick up a map at T&B Sports at 1345 4th St. or at this link.
