The youngest egg-hunters will kick-off the search party at 10:30 a.m., with the older hunters following a few minutes behind.
The egg hunt is planned to take place outside the library. In the event of inclement weather, the event will take place within the library. A decision will be made and communicated by the afternoon of March 29.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own Easter baskets to collect eggs during the hunt.
Admission is free, although participants are encouraged to pre-register by March 29 for planning purposes. Candy donations are being accepted up until March 29 to help fill the eggs. Donations can be dropped off at the recreation offices located at 2706 River Road between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
