Search for Easter eggs at Dillion State Park at 9 a.m. Saturday. Kids will be released to find their eggs by age group. There is no cost to attend and the event is open to all. The hunt has been moved this year to take place in the beach area parking lot. If the candy-filled eggs don't fill you up, the Coffee Coven will be on-site so you can grab a bite to eat and a hot beverage. A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Friends of Dillon State Park group. Stick around afterwards for the Naturalist's Nature Book Club at 11 a.m. at Cabin #21 or the Spring Trail Adventure hike along the Storybook Trail from 2 to 3 p.m. To register for the book club, call 740-453-0391.
