Our annual Easter Egg Hunt is right around the corner! If you wish to donate plastic eggs — preferably filled with a piece of wrapped candy — for the Mentelle Easter Egg Hunt on April 16, please bring them to the porch of 29 Mentelle Park. Donations will be accepted this weekend and all next week, but no later than Friday, April 15.  We would love to have at least 400 eggs to make this a fun and memorable event for our neighborhood’s children.

The hunt will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 16, on the Mentelle Park medians near Cramer Avenue. There will be two hunts — one for little kids through age 4 and one for bigger kids between ages 5-10.  Bigger kids will hunt on the median closest to Cramer and the little ones will hunt on the second median.

No small children in your household? No problem! We hope that all Mentelle Neighborhood residents will come out to socialize with your neighbors and celebrate the beginning of spring. Complimentary coffee will be available courtesy of Nate’s Coffee as well as delicious donuts from Spalding’s Bakery. We will also have temporary tattoos for both the kids and those just young at heart.

We hope to see all Mentelle Neighborhood residents there!

The Mentelle Mardi Gras celebration is Saturday! Please join us from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Mentelle Park at Cramer Avenue. A Mardi Gras celebration made up of the Big Blue Pedaler, sweet treats, music and fun for the whole family awaits you. Come out in your best Mardi Gras attire and catch some beads!

Adults and kids can capture the fun of Mardi Gras at the photo booth and complete your Mardi Gras “look” with some (temporary) tattoos!

Donations to the neighborhood association will be gratefully accepted. We look forward to seeing you Saturday!

We look forward to seeing all Mentelle Neighborhood residents and their families Saturday at 10 a.m. for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Thanks to the generosity of our neighbors, we have more than 800 eggs this year!

We will first gather in between the two medians closest to Cramer Avenue. Then, kids aged 5-10 will hunt on the first median (closest to Cramer) and those younger than 5 will hunt on the second median. Please remember that masks are required for everyone older than 2 and physical distancing from those not in your household is recommended to keep everyone safe.

If you live on Mentelle Park, please take a few minutes today to pick up sticks and other debris from the median in front of your home so no little ones get hurt.

See you at the hunt!

Masking for everyone over the age of 2 and physical distancing from those adults not in your household is required to ensure the safety of all participants.

Join the Parade

Decorate your car, get some beads and join the parade! If you would like to be part of the action, please park your car along the curb on Mentelle Park facing Richmond Road by 2:45 pm. If you live on Mentelle Park, you can position your car at the end of your driveway with your car facing the street. As the parade passes you, just pull out after the last vehicle in line to become part of the parade. Please remember that drivers should be prepared to drive slow — it’s a parade, not a race! — stay off their cell phones and leave bead-throwing to their passengers.
