Some Santa Maria families kicked off this year's Easter festivities during the start of the City's Egg-Splore Our Parks Spring Egg Hunt event.
Starting Friday, families are invited to visit the following six Santa Maria parks to search for large egg signs:
- Jim May Park
- Preisker Parks
- Pioneer Park
- Tunnell Park
- Los Flores Ranch Park
- Veterans' Memorial Park
Each of the parks contains one hidden egg sign.
One park also contains a hidden "Golden Egg" sign.
If you find it, officials say you can qualify for a prize drawing by taking a photo with the egg sign and posting it to Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #smrecparks.
This free event is open to all ages and will last through Sunday.
More information can be found on the City's Egg-Splore Our Parks webpage.
