Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday, April 19, 2025, 11 a.m. at Beach 5

Arrive at 10:45 a.m.

THE EGG HUNT IS HERE! Parents, grandparents, and neighbors,

Bring your children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews -- 6 months to 12 years old -- and their own basket to hunt for colorful Easter eggs on Saturday, April 19 at Beach 5 at 10:45 a.m.

Don’t be late! The Easter Egg Hunt starts at 11 a.m. sharp! The hunt will go fast – 15 minutes or less.

LBWC Egg Hunt Coordinator, Alice Edmonson, and her team will have THOUSANDS of jellybean-filled plastic eggs hidden at Beach 5. The beach and surrounding area will be divided into four sections for different age groups.

  • First section -  for kids ages 6 months up to 3 years. Each child in this section may have one parent accompany the child to help.
  • Second section - for kids ages 4 and 5 who may also have one parent accompany them to help.
  • Third section - for kids ages 6 and 7. Parents may accompany them, but please, no help in locating the eggs.
  • Fourth section will be an area for ages 8 to 12 (no parental help).

Our club members (Bunny helpers) will help guide you and your child(ren) to the appropriate section to hunt for eggs and to make sure that every child finds several eggs.

Sponsored by the Woman's Club, the Easter Egg Hunt is a fun community tradition with a visit from the Easter Bunny! We hope to see you there.

Please, NO DOGS. Leave your four-legged friend at home. There are too many small children and too many plastic eggs.

Independence Day Parade - Cool Fun in the Hot Sun

Thanks to all who helped to make this day a great success!

This past July 4th Parade was just amazing in spite of the heat! What a great turn-out -- LB residents, friends, and lots of children marched on down Waterway Drive.

We send a heartfelt thank you to our Community Events chair, Alice Edmondson, to the Cookie Coordinators, Nomi Taslitt and Michelle Moorehead, and to the LB Marching Band who cheerfully guided the group, following Jeannie in her flag donning golfcart and the Fairfax County ambulance. All the marching guests in the celebratory walk enjoyed the music from Beach 5 to Beach 3. We send out a special and much deserved recognition with our gratitude to our beloved Jeannie Meyer! This was Jeannie's 50th year of running the parade (with a couple of short breaks in there).

Of course, Independence Day would not be the same without your delicious COOKIES and lemonade at Beach 3. We had a record number of cookies! THANKS to all the bakers! And thanks to all who helped organizing, setting up and making the event such a success: Adele Neuberg, Aileen Pisciotta, Alice Edmondson, Benton and Joan Fisher, Carla Grosz, Carol Hopkins, Cathy Williams, Debbie Ladwig, Denise Dreiman, Dottie Bennett, Eliana Turina, Heidi Bonnaffon, Jan Rasgus, Jenny Alvarez, Jo Ann Krukar Webb, Joanne Wagner, Julianne Mueller, Kathy Utgoff, Laura Fox, Lea Bellas, Linda Haake, Lynn Varshneya, Marilyn Di Paolo, Martha Rubenstein, Merri Brown, Nora Darago, Wanda Martinson and Wendy Diliberti. And thanks to Roseanne Rubin and Elaine Mulligan for all of their website work in preparation for the event.

Continuing the celebration at Beach 3, the band played the National Anthem and other lively patriotic tunes. We’re so grateful for the participation of the Lake Barcroft July 4th Marching Band.

The LBWC Board appreciates the involvement of all its members and their giving spirit which continues to shape our wonderful community.
