Historic Overlook House EGGSTRAVAGANZA Easter Egg Hunt!!
It's almost time! Saturday April 8, be there by 10:30 a.m. sharp to hunt for over 2200 treat-filled eggs spread on the back lawns of the Historic Overlook House.
Will you be one of the lucky few who discovers and turns in one of the coveted Golden Eggs? We're hoping for a beautiful day, but the Easter Egg Hunt will be held rain or shine. This popular annual event is sponsored by the Friends of Overlook House for young neighborhood children. The event is free for all but donations are encouraged. We kindly request the egg hunt be kept to kids 6 and under.
