City of Laurie Easter Egg Hunt
Lake of the Ozarks
Easter is just another reason to plan a fun filled vacation to the Ozarks. The celebrations double up during this weekend, attracting visitors from all over the United States. The Easter celebration at the fairgrounds in Laurie is a tradition that has come down through the years. Unlike the other celebrations and events that take place at the Ozarks, the Easter celebrations at Laurie are exclusively for children aged 12 and below.
The candy and the prizes table overflows during Easter. The fairgrounds at Laurie, that plays host to the famous HillBilly fest, transforms into the children’s play area during Easter. There are over 10,000 eggs that are hidden all over the ground waiting for the children to unearth them. This is one celebration during which every adult accompanying the child moves back in time to become one with the little ones.
Children and parents alike embark on the Easter egg hunt that commences early during the day. It takes hours before the eggs are discovered. There are prizes given away at regular intervals to keep the children motivated to search for more. Easter Bunny is a key attraction during this event. The bunny makes its appearance during the course of the hunt and helps in the search! Parents and children alike flock to take pictures alongside the bunny that distributes sweets, candies and prizes to the thousands of children who participate in the search.
If you thought the celebrations end with just the Easter Egg Hunt at the Ozarks, you are in for a surprise. There are various contests and events held during the course of the day for children. Post sun down, it is the time for live concerts and performances by local bands.
The resorts and hotels at the Ozarks throw in a lot of discounts to attract visitors to avail their facilities. Discounts are offered for accommodation and food. Beer flows endlessly as people revel in the fun filled atmosphere.
