Some things to look forward to

Take part in an interactive musical performance by Madeline MacNeil. Madeline sings and plays beautiful folk music on a dulcimer.
Color boiled eggs using natural dyes from ordinary vegetables such as cabbage, beets, and onion skins.
Follow Harriet Settle, past resident of historic Mount Bleak House, on a scavenger hunt. Harriet's story will send you all around the historic area collecting treats.
Visit the Log Cabin to see a hearth cooking demonstration. Taste samples and receive recipes to take home featuring eggs
Learn all about bluebirds from volunteers who take care of Sky Meadows' bluebird houses. Look inside a bluebird box to see a nest, examine a taxidermed bluebird up close, and see baby bluebird pictures taken at Sky Meadows State Park.

There’s something for everyone to explore and do during this egg-cellent event

Make a day of it

Start the day with a hike on our trails in search for signs of spring. How many different signs of spring will your family find: fern fronds, buds swelling, the first delicate wildflowers, frogs croaking, birds singing…?

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, enjoy a picnic together.

And finally, join in the Egg-stravaganza activities in the historic area in the afternoon. Make it a whole day of fun outside at the park with loved ones and create memories that last a life time on March 26 at Sky Meadows State Park.
