The Mayor of the City of Bristol and the Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth & Community Services Department invite all pre-kindergarten through eighth grade youth and families to the 8th Annual Mayor's Back to School Pencil Hunt!
Each participant will participate in a Pencil Hunt in a scavenger hunt for pencils, as well as take home an age-appropriate goodie bag filled with school supplies. Youth who pull specially-marked pencils will take home surprise Silver or Gold prizes, in addition to their school supply goodie bag.
The pencil hunt is a fun way to gather some school supplies for the new school year, as well as connect with some friends (or make new ones) over the Summer! In addition to the scavenger hunt, there will be several community resources and other vendors present to provide information and handouts for all. Come on by and check them out!
