CLEMMONS — The numbers, experts and CDC guidance have steered us to pivot from a scary super spreader event to a safer yet fun Monster Dash and Goblin Hop this year. There will be a Monster Dash and Goblin Hop…Around the Village.

Forty monsters are on the loose in the Village of Clemmons. The friendly monsters are on display at businesses and organizations throughout town. From now until Oct. 31, families are invited to find the monsters using the clues below. Individuals can print and drop off an entry form to name all 40 locations at Village Hall or the Jerry Long Family YMCA by Oct. 31 to be entered into a drawing to win a special Clemmons-themed gift basket. Go to discoverclemmons.com/monster for all of the details.
