Eggsplore Downtown: A Celebration of Community Spirit in Tipp City
Last weekend, downtown Tipp City was filled with the sound of laughter, the bustle of families, and the joy of a community coming together to create lasting memories. The Eggsplore Downtown event was not just about finding Easter eggs. It was about bringing our entire community together, celebrating spring, and showcasing the heart of Tipp City.
On a beautiful spring Saturday, families from all over Tipp City set out on a downtown hunt to collect Easter eggs filled with sweet surprises. As they explored, they visited local businesses, discovered new spots, and enjoyed the charm of our historic downtown. The event was completely free, but the sense of connection and community support was priceless.
What made this event so special was not just the excitement of finding eggs. It was the shared experience. It was about families spending time together, creating memories, and engaging with local businesses. While the kids were busy gathering eggs, their parents were discovering new places to shop and support, all while enjoying the beauty of our downtown.
One of the highlights of the day was the free photos with the Easter Bunny, hosted by the Tipp City Public Library. Families had the chance to capture memories with the bunny before embarking on their downtown adventure. A special thank you to the Tipp City Public Library for hosting the Easter Bunny again this year and helping make the event even more magical for everyone involved!
The Power of Volunteerism and Community Support
Behind the scenes, this event would not have been possible without the help of our incredible volunteers and community sponsors. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the amazing Tipp City High School students who took time out of their schedules to stuff hundreds of eggs. Their enthusiasm and dedication truly brought this event to life. When I heard from the teacher after the event aired on Living Dayton, I could feel the pride they had in seeing their hard work recognized on TV. It is moments like these that show the power of youth involvement in making our community stronger.
We also could not have pulled this off without our generous community sponsors: Mauk Cabinets by Design, Abbey Credit Union, Main Street Financial Group-Thrivent, and Monroe Federal Savings and Loan. Their ongoing support makes everything we do possible, and we are so grateful for their commitment to our community.
A big thank you goes out to Topsy Turvy Toys, Rad Candy Company, and Living Simply Soap for generously donating the beautiful family Easter basket that was given away as a prize. Their contribution helped add even more excitement to the event and made one lucky family’s day even more special.
The success of Eggsplore Downtown is a reminder of what makes Tipp City such a special place. It is not just the events we organize, but the people who show up. The volunteers, the businesses, and the sponsors who invest in creating these experiences. It is a cycle of support that benefits everyone and builds the sense of community we all love.
For those of us lucky enough to experience this event, it was a day to remember. And for those who missed it, don’t worry. We are already looking ahead to next year! If you have kids, we hope you will mark your calendar for next year’s Eggsplore Downtown event. And if you don’t have kids, consider supporting the Downtown Tipp City Partnership (DTCP) so we can continue to offer these fun and free events that bring our community together.
