                 we invite everyone to visit our studio, we have limited space available for
                 those interested in creating with clay. If you want to make a project, stop

correctly will be entered into the Grand Prize drawing. Winners will be announced and contacted on Tuesday, September 5. As this event takes place
in Auburn’s cemeteries, we ask that participants remember that cemeteries open at sunrise and close at sunset. Additionally,
please be respectful of burials taking place during your visits, as well as other cemetery visitors and of the cemeteries themselves.

As a part of the Alabama Bicentennial celebration, 2018 has been designated as the year to “Honor Our People.” The Itty Bitty Auburn scavenger
hunt is a designated Alabama Bicentennial event, honoring the people who make up the richly woven history of the Loveliest Village on the
Plains. For more information about the Alabama Bicentennial celebration, visit alabama200.com. To stay up-to-date on the Itty Bitty Auburn
scavenger hunt, join the Facebook event group at facebook.com/CityofAuburnAL (which will be published on July 18). Hints regarding each

                Active Auburn is a health and wellness campaign presented by Auburn
                Parks and Recreation and launched in August 2017. The campaign is
                designed to encourage Auburn residents to get active in Auburn and
                connect them with their fellow residents and City parks and facilities.
                Each month, Active Auburn will host a recreation or fitness-centered event
                to highlight parks, recreation facilities or important areas of Auburn. These
                activities will range from field days and scavenger hunts in the parks to
                downtown jogs and walks.
