Good morning, Owensboro.

Families in Owensboro can look forward to a week of Easter events offering egg hunts, pancake breakfasts, and special activities at locations like Yellow Creek Park, the museum, and local churches.

Several events take place from April 12 to April 20—each event has its own time and cost details for an enjoyable outing with both kids and pets.
