The full Northern Utah calendar of events is on L4, but here are three local events you should check out this week:
1. Easter Egg Dive
465 N. Wasatch Dr., Layton, March 21, 9:30 a.m.-noon
Get to one of the first Easter events in the area to watch children of a variety of ages splash around in the pool and see how many eggs they can collect. The city website says: “Dive into the pool and collect colorful eggs! Different egg patterns mean different prizes — and if you’re lucky enough to find the gold egg, you’ll win a special gift basket!”
