Drive-By Egg Hunt
We’ll be decorating the Farmers Branch Historical Park, Farmers Branch Aquatics Center, The Branch Connection and Recreation Center windows with colorful Easter Eggs. We encourage you to cut out and decorate your windows with Easter eggs too. Take a drive through your neighborhood and to our facilities, and enjoy hunting down the eggs you can see from your car! Take a photo of your Easter eggs in your window and share it on social media with the hashtag #EasterInTheBranch by April 8 to be featured on our page and enter a drawing for a prize!
