Easter Egg Hunt Dodged the Rain

The threat of rain didn’t diminish the excitement of hundreds of kids who came to White Birch Park on Saturday, March 31, to participate in the City of Hazelwood’s annual Easter Eggstravaganza. When the horn sounded off at 10 a.m., they raced around and collected as many plastic Easter eggs as they could. Event organizers scattered about 14,000 Easter eggs, filled with candy, throughout the park. It took the kids just 10 minutes to swipe it clean.

The park was sectioned into five areas for the following age groups: Under 24 months; Ages 2-3; Ages 4-5; Ages 6-7; and Ages 8-10. A raffle was held for each age group. The winning tickets were announced, giving away five brand new boy bikes and five brand new girl bikes to the winning participants.

The kids enjoyed meeting the Easter Bunny and having their photos taken with him. As cars were leaving the parking lot, the Easter Bunny waved good-bye to them. Unison sounds of chants saying “good-bye Easter Bunny” could be heard from the kids in the car as they passed him.
