The Caterpillar Crawl - Bristol, Tenn.

BRISTOL, TN-VA — The Junior League of Bristol will hold its first annual Caterpillar Crawl on Saturday, May 16, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. The family-friendly event will be a downtown scavenger hunt inspired by Eric Carle's book, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

Scavengers will use a list of clues and a map as they search for 10 bronze caterpillar sculptures by Bristol artist Val Lyle. The statues will be permanent fixtures in downtown Bristol, and families will be able to enjoy the activity year-round.

The event will begin at the State Street Farmer's Market and culminate with a Caterpillar Carnival at the Bristol Public Library. The carnival will feature games, balloons, snacks, a butterfly exhibit and a reading of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" in honor of its 40th anniversary. There will also be a clay table, where Lyle will help children sculpt their own statues to take home.
