What is pink, purple and green all over? Montford Park on Saturday, April 7, during the annual Easter Egg Hunt of course! Come enjoy some family fun while children aged 11 and under scramble around collecting those precious eggs. (Don’t forget to bring your basket.) The fun, which also includes bunny tattoos and goodie bags, begins at 11 a.m. sharp.  This event is cosponsored by the Montford Neighborhood Association and Montford Community Center.
The spring Montford Community Center Yard Sale will be held Saturday, April 14 from 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Over 30 vendors will be selling their gently used items, so stop by and take a peek. The Montford Afterschool program will also be hosting a bake sale to raise money for an end-of-the-year trip, so bring your sweet tooth.
