The Democracy Rocks! Treasure Hunt is designed to teach children ten important lessons about history and civics. Kids pick up a map and log sheet, then use the map to find stations with Democracy Rocks! tags. On the back of each tag is a message about civics or history. They'll record the missing word from the back of the tag on their log sheet, then turn the completed sheet in for a prize.

Presented by the League of Women Voters of the Austin Area

Rooted in the city’s strong church, nonprofit, and neighborhood networks, this gathering centers Pflugerville’s identity and lived experiences.
