The Town of Lyerly is inviting families to hop on over for its annual Easter celebration later this month at Angus McLeod Park.

The Lyerly Easter Egg Hunt will take place Saturday, March 28, at Angus McLeod Park, located at 5801 Highway 114 in Lyerly. The event is open to children ages 12 and under, with the egg hunt beginning promptly at noon.

Young participants will have the chance to search for colorful eggs hidden throughout the park. Organizers say special golden eggs will also be hidden in each age group, offering additional prize opportunities.

In addition to the hunt, children will have the opportunity to meet the Easter Bunny and take photos during the event.

Following the egg hunt, families are invited to stay and enjoy a free hot dog picnic.

Town officials encourage families to arrive early to make sure children are ready when the hunt begins.

For more information, residents can contact the Town of Lyerly at 706-895-2011.

Forecasters say today will stay sunny, dry, and very mild, with afternoon temperatures climbing well into the 70s and possibly nearing 80 degrees in parts of northwest Georgia. That will make today the warmest and quietest day in the forecast before conditions begin changing quickly.
