You say Leprechauns are mythological creatures, eh? In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, the city of Lancaster will be hosting a contest where one must look out for crafty Liam the Leprechaun all month long in exchange for prizes from his pot of gold!

With no fee to enter the contest, one simply has to fill out an entry form from one of the contributing businesses on Lancaster Boulevard. After filling out the form, take a nice walk on the Boulevard by visiting each shop or business to receive a sticker from Liam. Once all stickers are collected, turn in the entry form at MollyKate’s Gift and Tea Room. It is up to luck and determination to win any of the many different and rewarding prizes ultimately being $1,200 in rewards from Liam’s pot of gold.

The local businesses participating include: Accurate Bookkeeping & Tax, All About Fitness, AV Bank, Bella West Spa & Salon, Five and Dime Candy, Graphic Experience, Kinetic Brewing Company, Laemmle Boulevard Cinemas, Law Offices of Michelizzi, Schwabacher, Ward & Collins, Lancaster Performing Arts Center, Lemon Leaf Cafe, MollyKate’s Gifts and Tea Room, Nothing But Bling, Simply Spoiled, and Sutton Photography.

The prizes vary from a certificate worth $100 for a photo session to tickets to the LPAC as well as many more rewards. Aspiring contestants should beware of the deadline on Mar. 31, when all entry forms must be submitted to MollyKate’s Gifts and Tea Room.
