Easter weekend will showcase the inaugural McDonald Farm Family Easter event sponsored by the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Department.
The event will feature free family fun on Saturday, April 16, from 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Elementary school children and younger may participate in an Easter Egg hunt with candy and prizes. Children should bring their own basket to gather the hidden eggs.
Additionally, children will be able to visit a petting zoo, play on inflatables such as a bounce house and slide, as well as visit a face painting area and other amusements.
For adults there will be an old time exhibition baseball game featuring The Tennessee Association Vintage Baseball.
Spectators are encouraged to bring their own blankets, and chairs just as ancestors did at the turn of the last century when barnstorming baseball teams toured the country.
The New Dismembered Tennesseans will also be playing during the day.
Families are invited to bring their own picnic baskets to have a family picnic on the farm’s abundant landscape.
Parking is free.
Additionally, families can tour the historic McDonald Home and view the various seasonal arts and crafts that will be on display.
