It's Egg Hunting Season in El Segundo

Hello, Gundo 👋 

Spring Break is just days away. And if you’re not leaving town, you can do some serious egg hunting (and more!) this weekend. It’s your last chance to see the ESHS Spring musical, The Tavern celebrates its 24th anniversary with a party, and a whole lot more.

As always, if anything new pops up, we’ll share it on the Hello Gundo Instagram.
