Kent’s pot o’ gold scavenger hunt

KENT — On Saturday, March 16, the Kent Memorial Library hosted a group of children for a rewarding treasure hunt.

The event was inspired by St. Patrick’s Day, and eight boys and girls of varying ages participated in the library’s Junior Room.

Kate Zarin of the library welcomed guests and showed them a large gold coin that was going to be the object of their search.

Lots of coins had been hidden in the room, but all were within reach of young hands.

After peeking, poking and rummaging, children could then redeem their found coins for treats from Zarin’s generous basket of goodies.
