Easter is coming up this weekend, and you know what that means, right? Easter egg hunts! Not real eggs, of course, but colorful plastic ones filled with rot-your-teeth goodies. With our egg hunt directory, you could theoretically spend the entire weekend stocking up on candy.
Friday, April 10
A flashlight Easter egg hunt for Concord/Penacook residents in grades 5-9 is held at White Park at 7:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for those who find golden eggs (probably not real gold, though that would be a cool prize). Make sure to bring a flashlight and something to collect the eggs in. Meet on the basketball court. Free. For more information, visit onconcord.com/recreation.
