Spring - and Easter - is here and whether your in it for the eats or in it for the treats, there are plenty of events in all areas of the city and surrounding areas. As a veteran of Easter egg hunts - please remember they are for the children. If it takes the 18 month-olds 10 minutes to pick up an egg, don't knock down other toddlers to make sure they get one on your time table - just a quick tip.

Easter events are still coming in so please check back throughout the week leading up to the holiday for updated info!

From the website:We're joining forces with our neighbor, Lily Limes, to present our Bunny Romp, an annual event for children of all ages held on the Saturday before Easter. We'll start things out with our Pancake Breakfast from 8 a.m. Our Pancake Breakfast (a weekly occurrence on Saturdays and Sundays from May through October) features a $5 stack of pancakes served with sausage and coffee. At 11:30, we'll be joined by the Easter Bunny. At noon, we'll start our Easter Egg Hunt, with areas set aside for children ages 2 to 12.
