All the Local Egg Hunts I Could Find
A springtime treat for you.
Happy Friday! April is right around the corner, so I thought I’d curate a roundup of all the egg hunts happening in our area. If I missed one, drop it in the comments and I’ll add it in.
One thing I didn’t realize back then as a newbie parent: Some of these events are like buying concert tickets, so I’d recommend figuring out the day/time slot you want now and snagging a ticket. They fill up quickly.
If you want to see all of these in your own calendar, just upgrade your subscription and I’ll give you access.
Enjoy!
