Fun Activities Around Northern San Luis Obispo County
Spring is coming and that means Easter isn’t far behind. Easter falls on Sunday, April 1 and means that leading up to the Christian holiday, there are Easter egg hunts and other activities open to the community. While there used to be more large-scale city-sponsored events, those have given way to more smaller, organization- and business-sponsored events.
Paso Robles Main Street will host a visit with the Easter bunny on Saturday, March 24, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the holiday house in Downtown City Park. Bring the entire family! Bring your camera and get a free Easter egg!
Easter Egg Hunt Etiquette:
It’s always fun to take the kids to Easter egg hunts, but it’s a bummer when someone ruins the fun by not playing fair. So here are a few rules of etiquette to make the time fun for everyone:
1. These events are meant to be fun!
2. Adults should stay on the sidelines unless the child is a baby or young toddler.
3. Encourage your children to participate with other children’s searches, and even help other children find eggs for themselves.
