Eggstravaganza

This huge egg hunt is a sure way to keep the kids entertained for a few hours, and it certainly beats the small setup in the backyard. The event is for children age 12 and under and offers many opportunities for prizes. There will be a separate egg hunt for kids age four and under, so there’s no need to worry about the older kids taking over. There will be an assortment of other spring-themed games to keep everyone busy. This is also a good volunteer opportunity for students in search of service hours.
