Flashlight Candy Cane Hunt
Lachat Farm's Flashlight Candy Cane Hunt, proudly sponsored by Coldwell Banker of Westport, CT!
December 20, 21
Grab your flashlight, put your festive holiday detective hat on and come solve the candy cane mystery at Lachat Farm! Candy canes are hidden in the woods and meadow, and we need your help to find them. Upon arrival, head to the Offutt Education Center, where you will check in and pick up a bag to collect your candy canes and a s'mores kit to roast at Lachat's famous fire pit. We'll have a festive photo op station in the barn too. The candy cane hunt will start exactly 15 minutes after the arrival time (no exceptions). After your child finds up to 10 candy canes, head to the Art Studio to pick out a non-candy prize! We welcome your family to relax and warm up after the hunt in the gathering space where you may wish to purchase hot cocoa and adult beverages while the children decorate their bags and listen to festive music from Karl Schulz and Kennedy Boehme.
There will be 2 Hunt times to choose from each night: 5:30pm and 7:00pm. This event is recommended for children 4 - 12. Adults are free and all children must be accompanied by a non-paying adult. The hunt itself is entirely outdoors and rain/shine so dress appropriately and then you can warm up indoors after. Park at our main entrance at 106 Godfrey Road W.
For the last 5 years, we have collected new toys to donate to the Domestic Violence Crisis Center. There is a great need for new in package tween/teen toys this year such as arts and crafts, inexpensive ear buds, playing cards, small sports equipment, beauty products -- but they will greatly accept any toys regardless of age as there are many birthdays in January. To help the community and to make life easier for our attendees, this year we have two ticket prices:
- $15 per child (Bring a new toy to donate to check in).
- $20 per child (Toy Donation included and Lachat will use $5 per ticket to purchase gift cards for children living at DVCC).
No exchanges or refunds. Before the busy holiday season, let's get the kids outside in nature and hunt for candy canes at beautiful Lachat Farm!
$15 or $20 per child, Adults Free
