Leland hosts egg hop event

LELAND, NC (WWAY) — The Town of Leland hosted an egg hop celebrating the arrival of spring on Saturday.

The event was planned to take place outside, but had to be moved inside due to the threat for severe weather.

Several families stopped by to receive a basket full of eggs, do crafts, and even meet the Easter Bunny.

Before leaving, participants sorted through all eggs to see if they won a prize.

Organizers say this was a great way to get the community into the spring and Easter spirit.
