Spring is full of mischievous creatures bearing gifts, and a dozen fairies have built their homes around Liberty Centre Pond. 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 (April 1 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the Community Center) and the Underwater Egg Hunt (April 2, 9:45 or 11 a.m., registration-required), replaces the candy chaos of prior years and is hosted by the Recreation Department and the North Liberty Optimists. Here’s all you need to know about the Bunny Clue Trail:
