Spring is full of mischievous creatures bearing gifts, and a dozen fairies have built their homes around Liberty Centre Pond. Their homes hold secrets for families who, if successful in seeking them out, will be rewarded. The EGGstravaganza, which includes April 9’s Bunny Clue Trail and April 10’s registration-required Underwater Egg Hunt, replaces the candy chaos of prior years. Here’s all you need to know about the Bunny Clue Trail:
