Giving eggs for the hunt? Hop to it!

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt is right around the corner! If you wish to donate plastic eggs — preferably filled with a piece of wrapped candy — for the Mentelle Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 8, please bring them to the porch of 29 Mentelle Park. Donations will be accepted until Friday, April 7. We would love to have at least 400 eggs to make this a fun and memorable event for our neighborhood’s children.

And this year the Easter Bunny will make an appearance! Thanks to Chad Walker of the Warehouse District and Eklektic Alchemy in Winchester, the Easter Bunny will be available for photos starting at 9:45 am. The hunt will begin at 10 a.m. on the Mentelle Park medians near Cramer Avenue. There will be two hunts — one for little kids through age 4 and one for bigger kids between ages 5-10.  Bigger kids will hunt on the median closest to Cramer and the little ones will hunt on the second median.

No small children in your household? No problem! We hope that all Mentelle Neighborhood residents will come out to socialize with your neighbors and celebrate the beginning of spring. Complimentary coffee will be available as well as delicious donuts from Spalding’s Bakery.

We hope to see all Mentelle Neighborhood residents there!
