On Saturday, March 31st, thousands of brightly colored eggs were put into the swimming and wading pools, to await the hundreds of children who would plunge in to seek out a variety of prizes.

The event was made possible by the generous support of Sango Pool and Spa, and the Clarksville branch of the YMCA. “We couldn’t have done this event without them,” said Matthew Dixon the Special Events Coordinator for the City of Clarksville Department of Parks and Recreation. Other area businesses provided prizes which were printed on laminated slips of paper that were inside some of the eggs.
