Pictures from our "Hop in the Park" Easter Egg Hunts. The Hunts were at 4 locations (Mingo Creek Park, Cross Creek Park, Lemoyne Center, and West Alexander Fairgrounds) encompassing all of Washington County. We had a great turn out and were able to give out over 1,000 treat bags between the 4 locations. The remaining treat bags were delivered to local schools for the students. We had a blast and enjoyed seeing all the smiling faces. ⭐️
