Easter egg hunts

Hop in the pool to hunt for eggs in the RIFAC swimming pool on Sunday, April beginning at 3 p.m. Participants will grab empty eggs out of the pool to turn in for an egg-cellent goodie bag. As a safety precaution, eggs will float on the water, not sink to the bottom. Registration closes on Friday, April 4th. 

If hunting for eggs on land is more your style, then hop on over to Lincoln Park on Saturday, April 12 at 9 a.m. Bring a basket and join in a mad dash to collect prize and candy-filled eggs. Registration is limited to 300 participants. Call 309-732-PARK for details.
