EASTER EGG HUNT: Due to ongoing construction, Dans Mountain State Park will not host an Easter Egg Hunt this year. Instead, Dans Mountain Park Association volunteers will host an Easter Egg Hunt at Iron Furnace Park on Main Street in Lonaconing at 1 p.m. on April 8. Free hot dogs and drinks will be provided. Please bring your own Easter basket or bag, and arrive no later than 1 p.m. to receive instructions and placement in the appropriate age group. The hunt will begin at exactly 1:15 p.m.
Our volunteers thank the Mayor and Town Council of Lonaconing for their thoughtful cooperation with this late change of venue.
