Easter will be here before we know it, and thanks to several local organizations, you can celebrate with an Easter Egg Hunt as early as this weekend! We pulled together a list of egg hunts happening all over the Triad, including local towns like Spencer, Asheboro and Ramseur. For information on each event, click the event name in blue and it will take you to a web site with more details.
If you know of an egg hunt that’s not on our list, email me at Katie@TriadMomsOnMain.com and I will get it added. We will be constantly updating this list up until Easter. Enjoy!
