December
The Grinch Who Stole Mini Putt
💚🎄 The Grinch Who Stole Mini-Putt! 🎄💚 At the North Bay Public Library
“Maybe I could use a little social interaction...” — said the Grinch, before heading to Mini-Putt at the Library!
This December, step into Whoville for a Whoville-worthy lot of fun as you face off against the meanest, greenest mischief-maker around! The Grinch has stolen all the fun (or so he thinks 😈), but it’s up to you to bring the cheer back to Mini-Putt!
Putt your way through the Grinch’s snowy schemes, dodging tinsel traps, candy cane curves, merry maze of festive greens and a few sneaky surprises, from a special spooky town! 💀🎅⛳🎁
