The Fairborn Easter egg hunt is one of the oldest egg hunts in the region, Howard said.

As long as the weather is nice this weekend, Howard said, the city will encourage people to walk and try to find the eggs around Fairborn.
“We want to get people thinking about something else for a moment,” Howard said.
She urged residents to still keep a safe distance from others during their walks.
For those who don’t have access to a printer, they can pick up a printed egg at the schools where families are picking up food.
