Easter scavenger hunts, drive-thru giveaways and Bunny photos in Tri-Cities
Some Easter activities are back this year after COVID forced the Easter Bunny underground last year.
The Easter Bunny will visit with children — at a safe distance — and several events and other activities are planned in Tri-Cities.
West Richland Eggstravaganza
The West Richland Fire Department and West Richland Police Department will be handing out goodies at a drive-thru event this weekend.
Families are encouraged to bring their own baskets to be filled as they pass by through the parking lot of Leona Libby Middle School at 3259 Belmont Blvd.
The event is 10 a.m. to noon April 3 or until supplies last. No cars permitted to line up before 9:45 a.m.
For more information, go to the Eggstravaganza event Facebook page.
CBC Easter drive-thru
Columbia Basin College is having a drive-thru Easter giveaway April 2.
The Easter Bunny will wave at children as cars can pass through and get a treat bag for children ages 2 to 12. Bags will have eggs prefilled with candy, prizes, stickers, books and more — while supplies last starting at 4 p.m.
Enter the CBC campus in Pasco from Argent Road and Saraceno Way, and the event is in front of the H Building.
The event is sponsored by HAPO Community Credit Union and the Children’s Reading Foundation of the Mid-Columbia.
