“This event is considered a big splash by the public and has received the Regional Lone Star Programming Award by The Texas Parks and Recreation Society,” Community Relations Manager Ciciely Hickmon said. Over 800 people participated in the festivities last year, so you’ll want to get to the rec center early and enjoy this non-traditional easter egg hunt.
