If you're planning on being around the lake area for Easter Weekend, then consider stopping by the Deep Creek Lake Discovery Center on Saturday April 7th. A Spring Open House will run from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm. Come check out new items in the Nature Shop and learn about volunteer opportunities at the center.
Stop in any time between 11:00am and 1:00 pm for the Spring Natural Egg Dyeing Program. The program is open to adults and children. There is no minimum age for participation, but all children should attend with an adult. Participants may bring up to six hard boiled eggs to dye. Wipe the eggs off with a mild white vinegar solution so the eggs will take the dye. The Easter Bunny will have treats for the children, plus you get 10% off any merchandise purchased while you're visiting. This event is sponsored by the Western Garrett County State Park Volunteers.
If you've never been to the Discovery Center, you should check it out. My family and I discovered this treasure last summer and plan on attending many events this year.
