Starting at noon, children can decorate a free craft bag to collect Easter eggs filled with toys, candy and other treats from Terra Nova Plaza businesses. Kids who find any of the 50 eggs, randomly hidden at merchant locations throughout the center, will be entered in the random drawing for a chance to win prizes, including a $150 gift card to use at any Terra Nova Plaza business.
