Bruce Ward, Linden city secretary, said the day will be a fun event for children and parents.

“It’s a fun Easter event with music for the kids and plenty of things for them to do,” Ward said. “It’s just fun for the kids. It also gives the parents a chance to get out and see everybody that they might not see in their everyday lives.”

At 11 a.m., there will be an Easter egg hunt with more than 1,000 candy-filled eggs on the front lawn of Linden Elementary School, including several golden eggs with special prizes. The hunt is expected to last about 30 minutes, and live entertainment will follow.

Demopolis’ Camilla Tutt will sing during the event, and Charlie Atchison, a ventriloquist from Gallion Baptist Church, will also perform.
