Easter’s nearly here, meaning there will be ample opportunities for Easter egg hunts in the community.

On Saturday, April 9, LaGrange First Methodist will host a free, community Easter egg hunt at Southbend Park in Downtown LaGrange. The event will begin at 10 a.m. The church will have more than 5,000 eggs hidden for children ages 11 and under, as well as prize baskets, candy and activity stations for the entire family to enjoy. Rumor has it that the Easter Bunny will be making an appearance too.
