Titled \u201cScavenger Hunt through History,\u201d it was a family affair full of food, fun and friendship. This was not a fundraising event. The entire function was enacted by The Community Library for and about the city and the people.<br \/>\nThe kiddos had a wild \u201cOlympic Mystery\u201d obstacle course replete with bubbles and a cornhole rabbit on the Donaldson Robb family lawn. There were amazing \u2018delectables,\u2019 and yes, they were delectable\u2014cookies of every flavor provided by Sun Valley Company. Miniature ice cream cones came in flavors of huckleberry, mint and chocolate swirl \u2014 handed out to all by Mountain High Creamery.<br \/>\nThe Hunger Coalition\u2019s Bloom had their bright orange van right in front of the Creamery with free lemonade. Smoky Mountain Pizzeria &amp; Grill served slices of pie for those entering Gold Mine Consign and the Tacos al Pastor food truck had a huge line for their famous comestibles.<br \/>\nIt was a true community party with around 200 or so families enjoying the gorgeous weather in downtown Ketchum. The event was designed as a scavenger hunt for the kids and set in chronological time around historical events of the area.<br \/>\nWith an authentic Olympic torch from the Center for Regional History\u2019s collection, one of Muffy Davis\u2019s gold medals, the road bike ridden by Greg Randolph at the 1996 Atlanta Games, and other artifacts and stories from the eleven Summer Olympians to view, it was a relevant, educational and exciting time in Ketchum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY ISAIAH FRIZZELL On Thursday, August 16, The Community Library\u2019s Book Around The Block put on a bountiful block party to celebrate community.
