On Friday, Apr. 3, your kids can enjoy an afternoon of free fun on their day off of school at the Neill-Cochran House Museum‘s Easter Egg Dye-o-Rama. Families with children of all ages are invited to attend from noon – 4 p.m. to dye their own Easter eggs, play games on grounds, and explore the museum in a playful, less-formal environment.
