CONWAY — Happy Easter and Passover Weekend, as we’re hopping along into some spring weather at last.
There’s all sorts of ways to celebrate this weekend, including the Conway Parks and Recreation Department’s sixth annual mobile Easter Bunny Eggstravaganza Tour, which returns today hopefully to a neighborhood in Conway and Albany near you from 10 a.m. to about 4 p.m., according to an interview by Sun colleague Lloyd Jones this week with Rec Director Mike Lane.
