Ozarks Healthcare and West Plains Optimist Club to Sponsor Free Community Easter Egg Hunt April 18

Ozarks Healthcare and the West Plains Optimist Club are inviting area families to hop into spring with a free community Easter Egg Hunt on Friday, April 18, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Heart of the Ozarks Fairgrounds in West Plains.

Originally planned for an earlier date, the event has been rescheduled due to rain – but the fun is still on the way!

The event will feature thousands of Easter eggs for children to hunt, free hot dogs, festive games, and plenty of springtime fun for all ages. Children will be grouped into age-specific areas to ensure a safe and exciting egg hunt experience. The Easter Bunny will also be making a special appearance for photos and smiles.

“This event is a fun way for families to enjoy time together, and we’re excited to once again partner with the West Plains Optimist Club to make it happen,” Melody Hubbell, Ozarks Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations Director, said. “We look forward to celebrating the season with our community.”

No registration is required, and all are welcome to attend.
