Easter events and egg hunts are once again planned in Los Osos and Cayucos.

The 27th Annual Bay-Osos Kiwanis Club’s Easter Egg Hunt is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, March 26 at the South Bay Community Center lawn, Los Osos.

The free event features two bounce houses, the Balloon Guy, a 4-H petting zoo, Boy Scout demos and more. At 10:30 is story time with the Friends of the Library and the best costume and best home-decorated egg contests awarded by age group. The egg hunt starts at 11 with a free barbecue hot dog lunch afterwards.

The event is co-sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and SLO County Parks. Sponsors are Steve Auslender REeBroker Group, Michael Konjoyan’s State Farm Insurance Agency, Whiz Kids Toy Store, Rabobank, Pacific Capital Mortgage, Jimmy Bumps Pasta House and Celia’s Garden Café.

And the Cayucos Lioness Club’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Bonnet Dog Parade are also set for Saturday, March 26 at Hardie Park. The hunt is at 10 a.m. and kids can hunt eggs and meet the Easter Bunny for photos.

Then at noon is the Easter Bonnet Dog Parade fundraiser in support of the Lionesses’ mutt mitt program. Entry fee is $10 for the first dog, $8 for the second and $5 for a third dog. Instead of prizes, all dogs will be given raffle tickets for a myriad of fun doggie prizes.
