There will be inflatable bounce houses, door prizes, hot dogs and popcorn all free of charge. At 12:15 p.m. a helicopter will drop 150,000 candy eggs for kids of all ages to hunt.

The San Angelo Nature Center, 7409 Knickerbocker Rd., will celebrate Easter on Saturday afternoon as well from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The cost for Nature Center members is $1 per person, non- members pay $1 for ages 1-3, $3 for ages 4-12, and $4 for ages 13 and up. The eggs will be hidden in the center’s natural environments. There will also be a small petting zoo, photo stations, free candy, and more.

At Santa Fe Park & Golf Course, 111 W. River Dr., from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., One Perfect Party will host egg hunts throughout the day beginning at 10 a.m. with  staggered hunting schedules for all age groups.

There will be live entertainment featuring the Trading Company. Fresh brewed beer will be on tap brewed right there in the old schoolhouse.

Saturday night you can catch Scott Dean McCurry, a Texas Country singer-songwriter from Dallas at Concho’s Downtown at 9 p.m. “Making this kind of music is something I’ve wanted to do for years,” said Mc Curry.  “Living in Texas my entire life, I have always been exposed to it, and always had such an admiration for classic country and its ability to vividly bring stories to life.”
