Allandale: Easter Egg Roll

Allandale Mansion to host annual Easter Egg Roll event

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department plans to host its annual Easter Egg Roll at Allandale Mansion later this month, with an afternoon of egg rolling on the front lawn, an egg hunt, games and activities for children and even a friendly visit from the Easter Bunny.

The free event will take place on the front lawn of the mansion from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on March 24. The event is being held in partnership with The Assembly at Kingsport. Allandale Mansion will not be open for tours during the Easter Egg Roll.

“The Easter Egg Roll is one of our most popular events and one that families look forward to every spring,” said Program Administrator Renee Ensor. “So, feel free to bring the entire family, go searching for some Easter eggs and just have a fun afternoon at the Allandale Mansion.”

Though the event is free, Kingsport Parks and Recreation officials are asking folks to register to know approximately how many people will be showing up.

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 United States. 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.
