It’s Easter weekend! Enjoy the warm weather at outdoor shopping markets and egg hunts. There will also be opportunities to learn about trout fishing and an Earth Day celebration at Indraloka Animal Sanctuary.
Sip & Seek Adult Egg Hunt
Grovedale Winery in Wyalusing, Bradford County, invites adults 21 and older to search for plastic eggs in the vineyards.
Participants will find tickets inside eggs to trade for prizes, including candy, wine and other items.
“You might get a gift certificate for a free tasting, that kind of thing,” manager and events coordinator Jess Gunther said. “We award the prizes right after the hunt concludes.”
The Adult Sip & Seek event is scheduled for 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday with the egg hunt kicking off at 3:15 p.m. Live entertainment and food trucks will keep the party going. The cost is $20 and includes a glass of wine.
“This event will be held rain or shine. So just come dressed accordingly,” Gunther said.
