Allandale Mansion: Egg Rolling

Kingsport Parks and Recreation will be hosting an Easter Egg Roll at Allandale Mansion next month.

The annual event will take place on the front lawn of the mansion from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on April 1 and includes egg rolling in the field, a small egg hunt, games and a visit by the Easter Bunny.

“Even though it’ll be April 1, we won’t be fooling around that day,” said Program Administrator Renee Ensor. “Kids can expect to enjoy a morning full of games, treats and egg-rolling fun.”

The event is free and open to children ages 10 and under. For more information about the event call 423-224-2489 or email Renee Ensor at reneeensor@kingsporttn.gov.

About the City of Kingsport

Founded in 1917, the City of Kingsport (pop. 55,400) is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the eastern U.S. 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. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S., there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.”
