Hunting for Easter fun around Humboldt? Grab your baskets and get ready to hit the bunny trail, kids. No need to wait for Sunday, either, as plenty of fun is going down on Saturday, March 31.

If you're in Ferndale, the local scouts have stashed eggs all around Firemen's Park for you to scramble after from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. (free). Rain moves the fun and prizes to nearby Valley Lumber.

In Fortuna, the Shopaholics Easter Fair and Egg Hunt is hopping from 11 a.m. to. 4 p.m. at the Fortuna Veterans Hall (free). Have a snuggle and a photo with a real bunny ($10) at this fundraiser featuring an egg hunt, giveaways (not bunnies, don't worry), vendors and goodies.

Eureka's Carson Park Easter Eggventure goes from 10 a.m. to noon, with clues, challenges, games and an egg hunt that will have the whole family thinking outside-the-basket (free to kids under 12 accompanied by an adult).

McKinleyville kids can bounce over to the McKinleyville Safeway Shopping Center for the Easter Egg Hunt at 10 a.m. (free). Five age-appropriate hunting grounds await, including one for kids with special needs, plus plenty of candy and prizes, and photo ops with the Easter Bunny.

Sweet.
