By Isaiah Smith, Assistant Recreation Supervisor

When people think about Easter outside its religious context, three words come to mind – bunnies, eggs, and egg hunts.

But sometimes, what should be a fun event means resentment and frustration for some. For example, if you’ve taken part in an egg hunt, you may have seen the sadness in the eyes of a child who only found a couple of eggs while their friends collected a dozen or more. 

The College Station Parks & Recreation Department believes everyone deserves a fair shake. In place of a traditional egg hunt, the Lincoln Recreation Center’s free Easter Egg-stravaganza is Thursday, April 14, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

The event features Easter-themed games and photos with the Easter Bunny. Kids 10-and-under get a bag filled with eggs, candy, toys, and a coloring sheet. Overflow parking is available at the Wayne Smith Athletic Complex at 107 Holleman Drive.
