OLD FORGE — The Old Forge Library, 220 Crosby Blvd., invites the community to celebrate Easter with egg and potato dyeing plus an egg hunt. The library presents a fun-filled evening of Easter Egg and Potato Dyeing and Decorating at 5 p.
m. Wednesday, April 16. This family-friendly event welcomes all ages to drop in and add a splash of color to eggs — and for the first time, to potatoes! It’s a wonderful opportunity to come together with friends and neighbors for a creative, hands-on experience.
For many, dyeing eggs is a longstanding tradition during the spring holidays. The library welcomes you to say goodbye to the mess and hassle — leave the dye, vinegar, paper towels, and cleanup to the library staff. The library will provide a wide variety of egg dye colors, crayons, markers, glitter glue, and stickers to help make each creation unique.
Participants are asked to bring their own hard-boiled eggs and a container to take them home. The library will provide the potatoes, so if you want to dye potatoes and start a new springtime tradition, all you need to bring is your creativity and imagination! Dyeing potatoes offers a fun, budget-friendly alternative to eggs, which can be expensive, especially for large families. Potatoes are a great way to get creative without the worry of breaking the bank while still enjoying the festive spirit! The library will also host its annual Easter Egg Hunt at 11 a.
m. Saturday, April 19. The event is free for all, and every child will receive a goody bag.
Every year the community gathers for this festive and memorable experience for families. Upon check-in, children receive a pair of bunny ears and a basket to help gather some of the 3,000 brightly colored plastic eggs, hidden across the library’s lawn. After collecting the eggs, children can return them to receive a special prize.
The Easter Egg Hunt will take place outdoors, so families are encouraged to dress for the weather, including sturdy footwear suitable for mud or snow. Whether you are looking to enjoy the joy of an Easter tradition or simply spend a fun-filled morning with loved ones, the Old Forge Library’s Easter Egg Hunt is sure to bring smiles to both children and parents. Prize bags are limited.
Registration win advance will reserve a prize, but walk-ins are always welcome. For more information, call the library at 315-369-6008 or email [email protected] .
