Allandale Mansion to host annual Easter Egg Roll event

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to announce its annual Easter Egg Roll is returning to Allandale Mansion later this month. The free event will feature a variety of egg-citing activities along with a friendly visit from the Easter Bunny.
The event will take place on the front lawn of the mansion from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on March 29 and is open for children ages 10 and under. The event is being held in partnership with The Assembly at Kingsport.
Note – Allandale Mansion will not be open for tours during the Easter Egg Roll.
Family-friendly activities include an egg hunt on the lawn, arts and crafts tables and a variety of children’s games. Plus, the Easter Bunny will be on hand for photo opportunities.
“The Easter Egg Roll has become a tradition for many families in our region and is one of our more popular events,” said Program Coordinator Renee Ensor. “So, bring a basket or bag, join in on the fun and make some great springtime memories.”

The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,750-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives.
