Bouldin Creek Easter Egg Hunt in Nicholas Dawson Park
It’s time once again for the Bouldin Creek Easter Egg
Hunt on Easter Saturday! Neighbors will gather at
Nicholas Dawson Park, at the corner of James St. and
South 3rd, at 10 am for coffee and goodies. The egg
hunt will start at 10:30am. Neighbors should bring a
coffee mug for some french press Ruta Maya coffee,
and brunch treats to add to the table.
The Egg Hunt is coordinated by Dan and Ginny Barrett
on West Live Oak and their kiddos Genevieve, Roman,
Sabine and Vienne. They’d love to hear from volunteers
who are interested in helping the Easter Bunny fill
plastic eggs with trinkets a few days before the hunt. If
you’re interested, please contact Ginny at 512.923.2628.
