Looking for something to do as a family this holiday weekend? How about a scavenger hunt? The Mount Washington Valley Trails Association’s Rec Path Committee is sponsoring a “Fall Family Fun Scavenger Hunt” for the month of October.
Go to their website mwvrecpath.org/ download the “Scavenger Hunt Grid,” and pick a trail, path, or road nearby and start your hunt for items on the grid. Some are easy to find like chipmunks and leaves. Others like ladybugs and blackberries may be harder to spot.
