Easter Activities in the Area: Hop on Over

We've rounded up a list of Easter activities in the area happening this weekend.

 

Easter will be celebrated this Sunday, and what's better than spending time with the family, a good meal and an old fashioned Easter egg hunt?

To help you make the best of this holiday weekend, we've rounded up some events happening in the Akron, Fairlawn, Stow, Twinsburg and Cuyahoga Falls area. If you know of an event that's not on this list, please add it to our comments section.

Funny, I am on the "Twinsburg" Patch and you listed Easter Egg Hunts from Hudson, Kent and Cuyahoga Falls, but no mention of Christ Community Fellowship Church's Hunt in Twinsburg. Our Saturday, 4/7 Easter Egg Hunt was the only one advertised on the Twinsburg Patch event calendar!

Sorry Pastor Aten, that's my fault. When this was posted I didn't see the event. I'll keep a better eye out in the future. Thanks.
