Celebrate the Return of Spring on March 23

Spring is full of mischievous creatures bearing gifts, and a dozen fairies have built their homes in North Liberty. Their homes hold secrets for families who, if successful in seeking them out, will be rewarded. The EGGstravaganza, including the Bunny Clue Trail detailed below, egg decorating (March 23 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the Community Center) and the Underwater Egg Hunt (March 24, 9:45 or 11 a.m., registration-required), is hosted by the Recreation Department. Here’s all you need to know about the Bunny Clue Trail:
