Easter egg hunts scheduled

One of the fun traditions of Easter are the annual egg hunts.

Some churches and families hold their own, but there are two big community events in the area, one in Mountain Home on Sunday and the other in Grand View on Saturday.

Mountain Home

The Annual Community Easter Egg Hunt in Mountain Home, sponsored by Sabre Lodge No.7, Free and Accepted Prince Hall Masons, will take place on Sunday, March 31, beginning at 1 p.m. at Carl Miller Park.

This event is open to all children.

Older children will utilize the entire grassy area of the main park.

A separate area is held for toddlers 4 years of age and under on the East Elementary School playground. The smaller children will receive Easter baskets to get them started.

The Lodge also offers a hunt for children with disabilities in the cook-shack area.
