How did you do? Here's where we found the objects in our Christmas Village scavenger hunt.

1. Hint: Shhh! A pup draws up a chair in the Carnegie Free Library, a replica of a library erected on this spot in 1903. You can read more about it on a nearby historical marker, on the southern front lawn of the Municipal Building.

2. Hint: Kids only.
