City Hosts Free Easter Egg Hunts

Easter

Thousands of colorful eggs will lay scattered across Messer and Myers parks for only a short time before excited children scoop them into their baskets during the City’s annual Easter egg hunt celebrations.

On Saturday, April 16, the annual Eggs-traordinary Easter Egg Hunt, designed for children with special needs, will take place from 9-11 a.m. at the Messer Park North Sports Complex, 2899 Jackson Bluff Road. Sessions for children with differing abilities will be held throughout the morning.

The first egg hunt of the day starts at 9:15 a.m. and is designed for children with varying abilities. This is a fun time for children with a range of abilities and their siblings to enjoy the hunt together. The next session will begin at 9:30 a.m. for children with visual impairments. They will be able to find eggs using their ears. The 10 a.m. session is designed for children who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices. They will be able to hunt for magnetic eggs. The last session at 10:15 a.m. is for children who have sensory sensitivities and prefer to hunt for Easter eggs in a quiet, calm environment.

To volunteer or pre-register your child for the annual Eggs-traordinary Easter Egg Hunt, please contact Jennifer Carter at 850-891-3885 or Jennifer.Carter@Talgov.com.

On Sunday, April 17, hop over to Myers Park, 913 Myers Park Drive, for the City’s 63rd Easter Egg Hunt from 1-3 p.m. Designed for kids ages 10 and under, families will enjoy an eggciting afternoon of fun activities and, of course, an egg hunt. Children participating in the Easter egg hunt should bring their own baskets, bags, etc.

Both egg hunts are free and open to the public. The Easter Bunny will make a special appearance, too.

These events are some of the many family-friendly activities hosted each year through the City’s Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs Department. For more information, please call  850-891-FUNN (3866) or visit Talgov.com/parks.
