Diamondhead Hunts Easter Eggs and Celebrates National Park Week

            Easter egg events are the headline for the weekend in Hot Springs and in our Diamondhead community. Lake Catherine State Park will host an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday for children 12 and under hunting candy-filled eggs in a beautiful setting at the Park. Hunters will meet 2-3 p.m. at the Picnic Hill Pavilion. Call 501.844.4176 for more information.
Right down the road from the Park at Diamondhead Resort Community the children will gather on Saturday at the Kiddie Coral to hunt eggs, visit with the Easter Bunny and enjoy face painting. Call 501.262.4470 for more information.
On April 25 and 26 Garvan Woodland Gardens, our other neighbor, will sponsor a program on “Naturally Dyed Eggs” where children can drop in from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and learn to dye eggs that create stunning colors from certain plants that contain powerful dyes. The children will also learn more about the plants while dyeing their eggs. Call  501.262.9300 for information.
            Also, starting this weekend on April 19 and continuing through April 27, Hot Springs will celebrate National Park Week each day with fun and creative events taking place in the Park. A portion of Hot Springs actually sits in the National Park. How fun and what an exciting week we have coming. The week includes wellness events, tours and information on the bathhouses, tea time with tea made from the thermal water, Junior Ranger Day on Saturday and concludes April 27 with the Fordyce Bathhouse Tour. For more information call 501.620.6715 or visit www.nps.gov/hosp.

            Every week of the year exciting and fun events are planned in the Hot Springs area. I’m looking forward to seeing the excited children at the Easter Egg Hunts this weekend and participating in National Park Week. When you have free time this weekend or next week, we’d also love to have you visit our Diamondhead community and check out the amenities we enjoy year-around. Call the Diamondhead office at 501.520.9201 or 501.262.9310 to schedule a tour.
