Families have a few options to choose from when it comes to celebrating Easter and hunting for eggs this year.
The city of Copperas Cove’s annual Easter Egg Round Up, organized by the Parks and Recreation Department, will be Saturday, April 8, at the Cove City Park (1206 W. Avenue B. Copperas Cove, TX 76522) from 9:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Pictures with the Easter Bunny will be from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Due to the number of kids anticipated in the older age groups, organizers are asking that parents stay behind the hunt lines and allow the kids to be able to gather the eggs.
