Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way! Here's a listing of Easter Egg hunts in our area. If you know of a hunt that I don't have listed here, leave a comment below or email me at danah@macaronikid.com.
I want to point out that many of these hunts are mostly town- or township-funded hunts and are limited to residents of that particular town. So unless I note otherwise that a hunt is open to everyone, please understand these hunts and activities are, in many cases, for residents only.
