EGGS-plore Lynnwood March 4 through May 9
Trinity was asked to host one of 28 eggs decorated by local artists scattered around Lynnwood in businesses and local nonprofit organizations. This is billed as a fun & unique activity for the community to explore Lynnwood’s great human service providers and local business, as well as a way to showcase the creativity of some of Lynnwood’s local Artists.
You can participate by using the Web App at eggslynnwood.com, or by picking up a paper scavenger hunt sheet from the Recreation Center. Every person who completes the egg hunt by finding all 28 eggs will be entered into a drawing for prizes which include: Fire Chief for a Day; play passes to PlayHappy Café; gift certificates to Big T’s Moonshine BBQ.
Learn more on the City of Lynnwood’s website: lynnwoodwa.gov/PlayLynnwood/Arts.
