Youth Appreciation Week continues with a scavenger hunt at town center, a LEGO workshop about windmills and more on Tuesday. 

A scavenger hunt for children 12 and under will be from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. around the Seward Johnson sculptures. The hunt will begin at town center, at 10 N. Livingston Ave., in front of Baumgart’s Cafe on the parking lot side, where participants will be handed the clues and a map of all the statues.

The scavenger hunt will take children to all 12 sculptures and will challenge them to discover Livingston in a new way.

All participants must be 12 years of age and under and must have an adult accompanying them during the entire time of the scavenger hunt.  

A registration form must be filled out, which can be found in the photo gallery of this article, and turned in at the registration table at Baumgart’s. They also can be filled out at the registration table at the beginning of the hunt.

All participants who return completed clue sheets will receive a $5 gift card to a Livingston ice cream, frozen yogurt or Italian ice store. The prize for the best new names for the sculptures will be awarded a $50 Gift Card to Toys-R-Us.
