A local partnership has put together a fun filled activity to celebrate the founding of Clinton.

Bobbi Perryman, Director of the Warner Library explains they've teamed up with Edith Brady Lunny with the Celebrate Clinton Association to put together a scavenger hunt that will take you to historical sites all around Clinton. 

This scavenger hunt will span over the first two full weeks of October. You can participate for free by heading to the Warner Library and picking up a map of the 10 locations around town. Once you complete the scavenger hunt, head back to the library and claim your prize.

This program is all thanks to a grant provided to the Celebrate Clinton Association by Constellation Energy. Perryman hopes this will bring families together by doing something fun, as well as spark an interest in history in kids.  

Lunny notes that it's important for kids to take part in their local history because it connects them back to where they are from. She says it's important to continue that history and pass it down through the generations.

Perryman mentions they've been working with other people in the community to make this happen, like Joey Long, Director of the DeWitt County Museum.

If you are looking for a fun activity this October, stop by the Warner Library between October 7th and October 19th and pick up a free scavenger hunt map. Find more information about Warner Library at vwarner.org
