Easter egg hunts are planned throughout the region by churches, towns and other organizations.

Peeps take over Townsend egg hunt
Any time an egg hunt takes place at a zoo, you know it’s going to be wild.
The word on the street is the Easter Bunny has planned a Peeps-themed egg hunt, and he wants your kids to hop to it and enjoy this adventure.
Easter displays will be on view as folks visit the zoo, including The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs.
Since this is a zoo, there will be bunnies, ducks, chickens, goats and many other animals present.
Egg hunters will get a chance to dive into this rabbit hole of fun at 3 Palms Zoo (1060 Vandyke Greenspring Road, Townsend) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Zoo admission is $5 per person (adult and child) and Egg Hunt is $3 per egg hunter. Visit Facebook.com/3palmszoo, or 3palmszoo.org or (302) 504-6500.
Dewey Egg Scoop will be in palm of your hands
The Dewey Egg Scoop has a habit of attracting hundreds of families for a little “eggcitement,” presented by Dewey Business Partnership.
There’s also an adult egg hunt with a 50/50 cash prize for the winning egg. The adult event costs $20 per adult.
After the egg hunt, there’s the Dewey Dogs Easter Parade at 11:45 a.m.
