In the spirit of St. Patrickâs Day, 100 lucky leprechauns have taken over downtown Valdese.
From March 10-17, 100 leprechauns will be hidden along Main Street in Valdese, between Italy and Praley streets. These leprechauns will be approximately 8 inches tall, and dressed in green.
Those lucky enough to find a leprechaun can exchange it at the Old Rock School for a special pot of gold. Prizes can be collected during regular office hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or by calling 828-879-2129.
The Town of Valdese asks that leprechaun hunters be ages 3-15 and limit one prize per child so that many hunters will have a chance to find a leprechaun. Leprechauns will not be hidden inside, only outside in public areas of downtown. Clues for finding those sneaky visitors in green will be provided on the Town of Valdese Facebook Page (facebook.com/valdesenc).
