Roswell Offers Two Easter Egg Hunts for Children

The city of Roswell will soon host two Easter egg hunts for youngsters to enjoy.

On Friday, March 27, Smith Plantation will hold its annual Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt, which starts at 10 a.m., continues a long-standing tradition started by Lizzie Smith (1831-1915), who organized Easter Egg Hunts for local children in the early 20th century.

Children are invited to bring their own baskets and collect candy-filled treats. This event is open to the public and costs $5 per child, which includes participation in the event and a photo taken with the Easter Bunny.

For more information about this event and Smith Plantation, visit www.roswellgov.com/smithplantation or call (770) 641-3978.

On Saturday, March 28, a flashlight Easter Egg Hunt will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the East Roswell Recreation Center. This is a family event, so everyone must register to attend and all children must be accompanied by an adult during the hunt.

The cost to participate is $12 for children who reside in Roswell and $18 for non-Roswell residents. For adults, the price is $4 for residents and $6 for non-residents. The recreation center is at 9000 Fouts Road.
