No mention of Nevin Park? I'd love to know who is the sponsor of the egg hunt advertised there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, tachitup. I wasn't aware of that one. Cups and Cones apparently sponsored one there last year, but further searches aren't turning one up for this year. If you've got info for a 2013 egg hunt at Nevin Park, please pass it on and I'll add it to the list!
DeleteThat goes for any other egg hunts open to the public I may have missed in the Easton area as well, whether free, or for a small fee/donation.
Meanwhile, I'll keep looking to see if I can find out anything more.
