The Key West Harry S. Truman Foundation invites kids and their adult companions to get a hop, skip and jump on Easter celebrations during their 5th Annual Easter Egg Roll, set for 9:00am until noon, Saturday, April 9, on the grounds of the Harry S. Truman Little White House, 111 Front Street in Key West.
Launched five years ago in the tradition of the Washington D.C. event initiated in 1878 by then-President Rutherford B. Hayes, admission to the spring revelry is free and includes the famous egg roll and egg hunt, arts and crafts activities, pictures with the Easter Bunny, and live music. Children aged 12 and under will receive a commemorative wooden egg and a springtime cookie. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
The Key West Harry S. Truman Foundation, a not for profit 501(c) 3, was launched in 2002 with a mission to preserve Florida’s only presidential museum, the Key West Little White House, and to provide programming that supports civic engagement, education, and the historic and cultural influences of the Truman era. Through the month of April, individuals and businesses wishing to support the Foundation and its mission can order colorful ‘Easter egg’ lawn signs, which can be delivered to your door.
