LEWISTON – The Lewiston Parks and Recreation Department will host its fifth annual easter egg hunt from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 10, at the Lewiston Memorial Armory.

The event is geared for pre-kindergarten through fifth-graders and is touted as a family fun time.

Besides the egg hunt, the event will feature games including pin-the-tail-on-the-bunny and a bean bag toss, and crafts such as face painting, cookie decorating, and bead making.

“Within the past five years, we have had crowds of up to 600 people for this event. It’s a wonderful time of fun and entertainment, and we hope both new and returning attendees will join us this year,” notes Parks and Recreation Deputy Director Megan Bates.

Organizations and groups involved in this year’s activities are the police and fire departments, New Beginnings, Volunteers of America Day Reporting, Bates College, the High School L Club, Lewiston High School National Honor Society, the Optimist Club and Lewiston Regional Technical Center’s Law Enforcement Cadets.
