Betsy Billingsley, executive director of Visit Greater Lima, said, “Overwhelming. We were really surprised by our second one. We had over 30 entrances, which we, you know, you think, oh, maybe a couple here and there, but people are really catching on. And we just love those pictures that you take with your grandkids or the family, or, you know, a great day that you've had here in town.”
It caused quite a scare when an unknown container was found outside the Bob Evans restaurant back in August, but law enforcement have determined that it wasn't originally designed to be a threat. The container is used in a world wide treasure hunting game called "Geocaching". There are containers, like the one found at Bob Evans, that are hidden in different locations and people use an app on the their cell phone to find them. Allen County Sheriff Matt Treglia says the one at Bob Evans sat in its original unknown location for over a year before someone moved it to the restaurant. The sheriff's office has talked to the person who placed the container and determined they didn't move it.
