The Spencer Perkins Center (1831 Robinson Street) is hosting its 1st Annual Family Easter Bash this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is hosted by Gospel recording artist, Dathan Thigpen, and features special performances by Benjamin Cone III and Christian Hip Hop artist, Gzosh.

If you feel like being active, activities such as a 3-legged race, horseback riding, and dunking booths will be on tap, as well as space jumps and an easter egg hunt for the kids.

Food and concessions will be available and you can also purchase raffle tickets ($5) for a chance to win one of many prizes…including an iPad 2. Proceeds from sales and raffle ticket purchases will benefit the children in the Center’s after school program.

So if you’re looking for an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids, or just want to spend a little time socializing with friends and family, make sure you place this on your events to do list.
