Kids Egg Hunt Saturday at White Birch Park

The Hazelwood Parks and Recreation Division is making Easter a fun experience for the young and old alike. An Easter Egg hung for adults was held on Friday, April 11, and one for kids will be held Saturday, April 19. The Easter Bunny has been busy at Valley Industries Sheltered Workshop overseeing the production of Easter eggs for both events with 14,000 ready for use at the Easter Eggstravaganza alone.

The most popular egg hunt that Hazelwood sponsors every year is the Easter Eggstravaganza, which is for kids ages 10 and under at White Birch Park April 19. The admission is free and open to the public. Starting time is exactly at 10 a.m. Hazelwood’s Parks and Recreation staff will be scattering over 14,000 eggs throughout the park, and roping off the area into five sections for the following age groups: under 24 months; ages 2-3; ages 4-5; ages 6-7; and ages 8-10. One girl bike and one boy bike will be raffled off for each age group immediately after the hunt.

The Easter Bunny will be there to greet the kids, give out candy, and pose for photos with them. In addition, the Piwacket Children’s Theater will present “Three Little Pigs,” a story about cooperation, in the Hazelwood Community Center gymnasium after the event is over.
