Kids (ages 6-12): 15 hours
Teens (ages 13-17): 15 hours
Adults (ages 18+): 25 hours
Completing a challenge earns a ticket for a prize drawing. Readers can read beyond these goals to earn MORE tickets and MORE chances to win! Check out this year's prizes on Beanstack. Each completer can also earn ONE grand prize drawing ticket. Grand prizes include a four-pack of day passes to Kings Island and a painting party for up to eight (8) people at Nellie Dog Pottery & Paints in Circleville.
