Easter fun abounds this weekend with several egg hunts and festivities across the area.
Iola
The Iola Recreation Department offers an Easter Candy Hunt at Riverside Park starting at 9 a.m. Saturday.
The hunt is planned for those younger than 12, although families and friend groups are encouraged to hunt together with children picking up candy.
Hidden throughout the park are 24 “golden eggs.” Those who find a golden egg can return it to a Rec Department employee to collect a special prize. Each child is limited to one golden egg, with a limit of two eggs per family.
The Iola Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring another Easter Egg Hunt from 10 to 11 a.m. on the southwest corner of the downtown square. Age divisions are 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. The Easter bunny will attend for photo opportunities.
Humboldt
The Lions Club Easter egg hunt kicks off at 10 a.m. Saturday at the downtown square.
LaHarpe
The LaHarpe PRIDE group offers its annual Easter celebration at 2 p.m. Saturday at City Park.
The Easter egg hunt is divided into three age divisions: birth to age 4, ages 5-8 and ages 9-12.
In addition to candy, the hunt includes special prizes such as dollar coins, pencils and other gifts. The Easter bunny will be on hand to visit with children.
Immediately after the hunt, gather for drawings to win Easter baskets and bicycles. Another drawing will be for gift cards to residents who filled out a housing survey.
Mildred
The Mildred Store offers “He is Risen,” an Easter egg hunt at 2 p.m. Saturday.
