Sunset Park is preparing to host its annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 8, inviting children of all ages to search for candy-filled eggs and special “golden” eggs with tickets for prizes.
The event, which has been held for over 20 years, has become a tradition for local families and was described by Sunset Park Association President Rob Ireland as “one of the most heartwarming events of the year.”
To ensure every child gets a chance to participate, the egg hunt will be divided into four age groups: 1-3, 4-7, 8-9 and 10-12. The hunt begins at 10 a.m. near the play structures behind Schlegel Hall; due to parking restrictions and time needed for organizing, families are encouraged to arrive early.
Schlegel Hall is located at 12765 NW Main Street in Banks.
