Elk Garden looking toward spring Mineral Daily News-Tribune Tribune Correspondent ELK GARDEN – Elk Garden is thinking spring and will kick off the season with an egg hunt for children 12 and under at 2 p.m. April 3. Different age groups will be divided between the church, fire hall and town park as the children hunt for the prefilled eggs with treats. The town park is in need of plumbing repairs before it can open for the season, however, and numerous pot holes from the severe winter are also high on the spring to-do list. The council is continuing to look at options for the street repairs, including the possible purchase of a pacing machine and rental of other needed equipment.
