Easter’s on the horizon and this week egg hunts and visits with the Easter bunny continue to take place around Franklin County! There are free events, indoor and outdoor events, as well as egg hunts for all ages.
If you want to leave the Easter meal to someone else, there are a couple options for Easter brunch – with a buffet option at Mangia Bella in Washington or Easter brunch at Spencer Manor Winery in St. James.
Just a heads up! April is prime spring shower weather in Missouri, so it might be a good idea to double check with event venues before heading out just in case an event gets canceled or rescheduled due to weather!
