Eggstravaganza
A program at our City Park the weekend before Easter. There are dancing, food games, lots of people selling their crafts, Entertainment by local groups. The whole idea of all of this is kids making baskets for Easter for kids that are less fortunate. We have a very large set up of games and toys and candy and the kids come along and put a basket together knowing it's for a child that probably would not get an Easter Basket. The feeling around this table is full of love and caring, it's a very magical day.
