BAR HARBOR, ME-Come spring, crocuses bloom, buds come out, and eggs
appear. While some may be made of jelly or chocolate, there are also a
load of real ones emerging, in woods, fields and even under household
eaves. 

College of the Atlantic’s George B. Dorr Museum of Natural History is
offering a celebration of the egg, a Spring Egg-stravaganza on Thursday,
April 21 from 3 to 5 p.m., combining egg decorating and egg learning.
Using natural dyes from spinach, grapes, tea, and flowers, participants
will be dying hard-boiled eggs. For those longing for a little glitter
in their lives, there will also be the opportunity to decorate paper
eggs with yarn, glitter and markers. 

The celebration includes an egg hunt for plastic eggs filled with candy
as well as slips of paper with fun facts about egg-laying animals:
birds, spiders, fish, frogs, and snakes. 

Dorr Museum’s Thursday, April 21 Egg-stravaganza is focused on you
children, ages 2 to about 10. The egg hunt will take place within the
museum and the front grounds, weather permitting. $2 per child suggested
donation. Bring a bag or a basket to hold your eggs. Pre-registration is
