Event Details
To help commemorate the 250th anniversary of the country, the League of Women Voters of Falls Church presents the Democracy Rocks! Civics Scavenger Hunt. The scavenger hunt is designed to teach children facts about history and civics - and encourage adults to vote in the primary election on Tuesday, August 4. The event will launch on Sunday, July 19 and run through August 4.
Children receive a copy of a map and log sheet, then use the map to find Civics Stands with Democracy Rocks! tags at key locations of historic and/or civic importance around Falls Church. On the back of each tag is a message about civics or history. The children record the missing word from the back of the tag at each stand on their log sheet, and then turn the completed sheet in for a chance to win a prize. Detailed instructions on how the scavenger hunt will work can be found via the provided link.
There are six stand located throughout the city at the following locations: The Falls Church, Tinner Hill Historic Site, Mr. Brown's Park, the Mary Riley Styles Library, City Hall, and Cherry Hill Farm House.
