In most tales and stories leprechauns are depicted as generally harmless creatures who enjoy solitude and live in remote locations, while in others they are depicted as ill-natured and mischievous, with a mind for cunning. Opinion is divided as to if they ever enjoy the company of other spirits. Although rarely seen in social situations, leprechauns are supposedly very well spoken and, if ever spoken to, could make good conversation, according to hellokids.com.

They are usually depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. They are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If captured by a human, they often grant three wishes in exchange for their freedom.

And now you have your chance to catch one. Get St. Patrick’s Day started early with this free family event. The tenth annual Great Narberth Leprechaun Hunt is being held in downtown Narberth on Saturday, March 10, 2018, from 1pm – 4pm. This free family event is a scavenger hunt where kids search all over town to find ten leprechauns. Children start the hunt by getting a game card and an empty pot o’ gold from the booth at the corner of Forrest and Haverford Avenues. They get treats as they find the leprechauns, who are hiding in shops all over town. Once they’ve found all ten, they return to the booth for a St. Paddy’s Day prize. The hunt lasts until 4pm or while prizes last, according to a post by the Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board.
