You’re Invited: Leprechaun Hunt & Plant-a-Little-Green Activity!

Post Date:02/19/2026

Dear Fauquier Residents,

The leprechauns are on the loose, and we need your help to find their hidden gold! Join us for a fun and eco-friendly Leprechaun Hunt & Plant-a-Little-Green Activity that combines St. Patrick’s Day magic with caring for our environment. 🍀🌍

Children will receive a special bag to collect “gold coins” and a butterfly net to help catch those mischievous leprechauns. After the hunt, we’ll head to our planting station where each child will plant their own shamrock to take home and grow. 🌱

This hands-on activity highlights reducing waste—our “gold coins” are reused bottle caps, biodegradable pots replace plastic, and butterfly nets are returned for reuse. Even leprechauns know that reducing and reusing is pure gold for our planet! ♻️✨

Event Details:
📅 Date: March 13, 2026
⏰ Time: 11:00 AM
📍 Location: 6438 College St, Warrenton, VA 20187

Children will:
• Hunt for leprechaun gold
• Plant their own shamrock to take home
• Learn how reducing and reusing helps our environment

This is fun for the whole family! We can’t wait to celebrate, hunt, and plant a little green with you! 🍀

Please feel free to share with friends and neighbors who would enjoy this fun, family-friendly event.

Warmly,

 Environmental Services Educational Team
