  2. “NAK” (North Asheville Kids) would like to invite your family to the NAK Epic Egg Drop, Saturday, March 30th in Weaverville. A Hot Air Balloon will drop 10,000 Easter eggs. There will be separate drops for each age group; preschool, K-1st, 2nd-3rd, and 4th-5th grades, so that each child will have a chance to gather lots of eggs. There will be great prizes, a chance to win a tethered balloon ride, inflatables and every child will leave with a goody bag full of treats. For more information and directions, go to www.northashevillebaptist.org.
