More than 20,000 candy-filled eggs will be up for grabs at Elings Park’s annual Great Egg Hunt, 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, March 30 at the park’s softball fields.
The free egg hunt is organized by age groups for children up to age 10, and children should bring their own baskets.
“The Easter Bunny gave us magic seeds that produce blades of grass that grow to just the perfect height to cradle the eggs and make them easy for little hands to grab,” said Dean Noble, the park’s executive director. “As with past years, he and Mrs. Bunny will be at the Great Egg Hunt to meet all their friends.”
The event also includes visits from, and photos with, Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny; face painters; Luna’s Jumps bounce houses; and music provided by Music by Bonnie. New this year will be smoothies and coffee for purchase from Claudia Coffee Bar food truck.
The park opens at 9 a.m., and there are three timed starts by age group: Baby Bunnies (ages 0-3), 10 a.m.; Daring Ducks (ages 4-6), 10:45 a.m.; and Jack Rabbits (ages 7-10),11:30 a.m. Festivities continue until noon.
