Galerie Egg Hunt at Washington Park

Get ready, everybunny, because this is no ordinary egg hunt. Check in at Washington Park’s Porch to pick up a scavenger hunt card and crayon and venture through the park to discover the hidden eggs on your card. Find them all and return to The Porch to collect a bag of Easter treats. The Easter Bunny also plans to stop by for a photo op, plus egg dyeing with local artist Abby Palen and sweet baby animals from Good Green Earth Educational Farm. Register here.
