Portage Library to host Great Gingerbread Hunt Dec. 2

HOUGHTON -- Grade school children are invited to follow clues and join the fun in The Great Gingerbread Hunt at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 2, at the Portage Lake District Library in Houghton.

The event will begin with a reading of the classic folktale "The Gingerbread Man," after which the great scavenger hunt will begin. Participants will follow clues to find the characters from the story throughout the library. Clues will lead children from the old woman to the old man to the pig to the cow and all the characters until they’ve found the fox. After the hunt, kids will decorate gingerbread man cookies and make a gingerbread man book to take home.

This event is sponsored by the Copper Country Reading Council and the Portage Lake District Library. Students from the Education Department at Finlandia University will assist with this event.

Library programs are free and open to all. For information, you may call the library at 482-4570 or visit www.pldl.org.
