Flint Families are invited to celebrate the season by joining Mayor Sheldon Neeley for an “Egg-straordinary Candy Giveaway” from 3-5 p.m. Thursday, April 1, at Flint City Hall. The event will offer both a drive-through and walk-up option for families.
As part of Mayor Neeley’s COVID-safe celebration of spring, children will receive bags of candy and a toothbrush, while supplies last, and have the opportunity to take a picture with Hopper the Bunny.
“Our celebrations continue to look a little different, but we wanted to continue to provide a fun and safe way for families to celebrate the season,” Neeley said.
Neeley encourages all households to use the utmost caution and make decisions in the best interest of their families. All guests should wear face masks and maintain 6-foot social distances from everyone except those in their immediate household.
Flint City Hall is located at 1101 S. Saginaw St. This event will be held outside.
