Friends of HPL Host Second Annual Jigsaw Puzzle Competition

The Friends of Hedberg Public Library were happy to host the second annual Jigsaw Puzzle Competition at HPL Express at Uptown Janesville on Saturday, April 27. Fifteen teams registered for the event, with the goal of completing the same 500-piece puzzle within a 2-hour time limit. 

All the teams proved to be exceptionally skilled and dedicated puzzlers. First place managed to complete the Country Life: Songbirds on the Farm puzzle in just 35 minutes. Second place clocked in at 49 minutes and third place was not far behind at 54 minutes.

Thank you to all participants and congratulations to the top finishers! Special thanks to Uptown Janesville for allowing us to hold the competition in the Center Court.
