 Easter Egg Hunt

Experience the magic of springtime with our annual Easter Egg Hunt! It's a time-honored tradition where families come together for a morning filled with laughter, joy, and endless fun. The one and only Easter Bunny pays us a special visit, spreading cheer as kids pose for adorable photos and receive delightful treats.

But the fun doesn't stop there! Once the Easter Bunny has worked his magic, it's time for the main event: the egg hunt! Kids of all ages are invited to join in the excitement as they search high and low for colorful eggs hidden throughout our designated area. With each discovery comes the thrill of finding treasures and the joy of sharing in the excitement with newfound friends.

After the egg hunt, the festivities continue with fantastic giveaways and exciting prizes that are sure to delight. From Easter baskets brimming with goodies to special surprises, there's something for everyone to enjoy. And what better way to unwind and warm up after all the excitement than with a cup of hot chocolate? Sip on this deliciously comforting treat as you reflect on the day's adventures and bask in the joy of the season.

As the flowers bloom and the sun shines brighter, it's time for our annual spring event, where hearts unite for a cause close to ours, saving lives! We partner with Community Heart Watch to bring you an unforgettable day of education, empowerment, and fun for the whole family!

Adults and children of all ages come together to learn life-saving skills that could make all the difference in an emergency. Our expert instructors will guide you through hands-on CPR training, ensuring you're equipped with the knowledge and confidence to act swiftly and effectively in critical situations.

But that's just the beginning of our life-saving journey. Have you ever wondered how to Stop The Bleed? Our dedicated team will walk you through essential techniques, empowering you to step up and be a hero when it matters most. And let's not forget about the importance of AED equipment – you'll leave our event feeling empowered to use this vital tool with ease.

Children are invited not only to learn but also to bounce around in our delightful bounce house, have their faces painted, and munch on tasty, healthy snacks. They'll also have the unique opportunity to explore a real fire truck and ambulance up close, chatting with our local medical professionals who are dedicated to keeping our community safe and healthy.

Pumpkins & Painting in the Park

In October, gather your family and friends for an enchanting evening under the stars at Bessie Benson Park in Carroll! Join us for an unforgettable event filled where children are invited to handpick their perfect pumpkin from our pumpkin patch, each one ripe for transformation into a masterpiece. With a rainbow of paint colors at their disposal, young artists can let their creativity run wild as they decorate their pumpkins, creating whimsical designs.

But the fun doesn't stop there! As the sun sets and the stars twinkle overhead, families can cozy up on blankets and lawn chairs in front of a huge projector screen. It's movie time under the open sky, with a Halloween flick guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages. With popcorn in hand and slices of piping-hot pizza to enjoy, it's an evening tailor-made for making cherished memories with loved ones.
