More than 30,000 Easter eggs will be up for grabs at Harvey Field, east of Highway 9 in Snohomish on Saturday. Kids 12 and under can claim them, starting promptly at 9 a.m.
After the egg hunt, the free Easter fun moves downtown, with Easter Bonnet Contest registration starting at 10 a.m. and a parade at 11 a.m. in the area of First Street and Avenue A.
“Cars” movie character Tow Mater will be in the parade, organizers say, and will greet fans afterward at the Snohomish Boys and Girls Club, 402 Second St.
For those seeking an Easter weekend breakfast rather than an egg hunt, the Snohomish Senior Center, 506 Fourth St., will offer a pancake breakfast between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Saturday, for $5.
