Join the Dole Institute for a morning of family fun, including a White House-style egg roll race, egg hunt and crafts. Activities: Egg Roll, Easter Egg Hunt, story time and special crafts with the Lawrence Public Library, live bunnies and an Easter-themed photo area. Prizes: All children will receive a special gift when departing the event, including candy from the egg hunt! What is an Easter Egg Roll? An Easter Egg Roll is a race for children to push an egg (hard-boiled or wooden) through the grass with a long handled spoon. The fastest to the finish line wins! Questions?
