What a fantastic evening at the 9th Annual Young Leaders of Licking County Putt Putt Challenge! ⛳

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to play, sponsor, volunteer, and support this year’s event benefiting the YLLC Giving Fund. The rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy a great evening of friendly competition.

Congratulations to Christian Price and his team for taking home this year’s championship trophy!

A special thank you to our sponsors, Tusky’s Mini Golf, and everyone who helped make this event possible. We can’t wait to see you all back on the course next year!
