Leonardtown, MD – The gray skies couldn’t cloud the spirits of the many children who attended the 33rd annual St. Mary’s County Easter Egg Festival Saturday, March 19. The four-hour event was held at the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds.
The festival, which is organized by St. Mary’s County Recreation and Parks Department, was highlighted by 13 separate egg hunts. The hunts were held at the fairgrounds’ show rings. Among the other activities were a St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office K9 demonstration, kids fitness demonstration, performances by belly dancers, the Foundation 4 Heroes, the Egg Contest, arts and crafts, face-painting, USTA tennis demonstration, a silent sports auction, a raffle plus photos with the Easter Bunny. SO MD BMX had its Balance Bike Track set up and in operation during the entire event.
Several food vendors were on-site to feed the hordes of hunters and other attendees.
Over 25 local businesses sponsored the event and nearly 30 local businesses and services participated as vendors.
