Fun for the Whole Family
The Healthy Connections Easter Egg-Stravaganza in Mena is designed to be enjoyable for parents and guardians as well as children.
While the kids are hunting for eggs and participating in games, adults can enter a drawing for a Grill Giveaway. Guests can also enjoy pulled pork sandwiches and refreshments while spending time with family and friends.
Families are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and relax while enjoying the activities.
Supporting Children and Literacy
During the event, families will also have the opportunity to learn about the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, a program that provides free books to children from birth through age five. Representatives will be available to share information and help families sign up eligible children.
