What do nails and Easter eggs have in common? Nothing except that the Kennewick Home Depot will hold its annual Easter Egg Hunt this Saturday, April 7^th, for kids up to age 12. If the weather cooperates, the event will be held outdoors. Employees say if it rains the hunt will take place indoors so kids and families are not stuck in rainy weather.

The Easter egg hunt for kids up to age 5 starts at 10 am. Kids from 6-8 will hunt for eggs at 10:30 am; kids from 9-12 will wrap up the event with a hunt at 11 am.

If you have other plans, such as visiting one of the many Easter egg hunts hosted by area churches on Saturday, you can always stop by for the Home Depot Kids Workshop from 9 am to 12 pm.
