Spring egg hunts headline change of seasons

With winter officially turning to spring this week, THPRD is set for hundreds of new classes to begin on Monday, March 30. Spring registration is now under way at thprd.org and at all facilities.

Spring also means it’s nearly time for some of the district’s most popular community events. THPRD staff have rounded up a parcel of eggs and one floppy-eared host for three highly anticipated egg hunts, April 3-4, at the district’s recreation centers.

Residents are invited to hop like a bunny to pre-register for these family-friendly events today. For more information, call 503-645-6433.
