With baskets in hand, young kids eagerly awaited the big egg hunt during Spring Fest at Founders Park on March 30. Parents watched as their children scurried to snatch as many plastic eggs as possible. Kids were separated by age group as they waited for the yellow tape to drop. For kids 12 and under, activities included airbrush tattoos, face painting, kid’s coloring, bounce houses, a DJ and dancing. Snow cones from Polar Ice and donuts from Joey Bag O’ Donuts were also available.
