Veterans Day to have special meaning for children in Putnam County

CARMEL As parades and ceremonies honor America’s military heroes across the region tomorrow on Veterans Day, Putnam Veterans Memorial Park in Kent will host an unusual activity for children ages 5–12.  The Revolutionary Putnam County Committee has invited families to join the fun with “Gnome of the Brave,” a patriotic-themed scavenger hunt. Young visitors are invited to become Gnome of the Brave history detectives as they search the park for the mischievous patriotic gnomes who have made off with pieces of our American Flag exhibit. Children who complete the scavenger hunt will receive a patriotic prize. Organizers said the activity offers families a fun and engaging way to celebrate Veterans Day while introducing younger generations to American history and the meaning behind our national symbols. The park will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
