For those who missed the large number of Easter egg hunts last weekend, there’s still time this weekend to snare your share of eggs.
A couple were rescheduled due to weather concerns last weekend.
Here’s a list of the public Easter egg hunts we have received for this weekend and next. Many churches also will set out eggs for children to find during their Easter services on that day as well.
Because weather can be unpredictable this time of year, the times, dates and locations can change, so check with the organizers before you pack your baskets.
Many host an appearance by the Easter bunny, and most recommend that parents bring their cameras or phones to capture that special moment. Most also ask that you supply your own basket.
Happy hunting!
