TETNA Spring Social
Come play and socialize at the park! Join your Tosa East Towne neighbors to connect and celebrate spring together.
New this year, we're opening up the event for community-led activities. We're inviting neighbors to set up tables or tents to share whatever you'd like with the community. Think book club sign-ups, seed exchanges, handmade crafts for sale, music, games, or anything else that brings people together. Pre-register if you're planning to set up so we can help spread the word, but walk-ins are welcome, too. If it's indie, inclusive, and neighborly, it's welcome! Not sure if your idea fits? Just ask us at info@tosaeasttowne.org.
The Egg Hunt, sponsored by Ruckus & Glee, will kick off at 10AM sharp in the field. Eggs filled with treats will be hidden around the park. The hunt moves fast, so arrive on time if you want some eggs! We'll have a separate hunt for little ones under 2. Crafts and festive activities will be available in the main building. The Easter Bunny will make a special appearance, too.
Event day help is always appreciated! Please consider showing up early or staying late to help us hide eggs and clean up afterwards. Volunteer questions? Please contact Eric or Karli Larsen at kmlarsen5@gmail.com.
