It may seem early, but as you start seeing candy canes in stores, keep us in mind for this year’s Flashlight Candy Cane Hunt!

We are seeking donations of new, sealed candy canes to help make this event possible. Your donations help us keep registration fees as low as possible while also providing additional fun opportunities for participants.

Candy cane donations can be dropped off at the Baraboo Civic Center, Room 17, Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

Interested in signing up for the Flashlight Candy Cane Hunt? Find more information at https://baraboowi.gov/recspecialevents.
