Easter Egg Hunts

Tips for local egg hunts-

1. Get there EARLY! Once the whistle blows, it's a whirlwind and eggs are gone in minutes. Be sure you are in the right age group and waiting well before the official start.
2. Don't forget your basket! 
3. Some events have planned rain dates, check their individual sites for details.
4. Have fun!
