The Nyrstar Zinc Smelter is set to hosts its third annual Community Drive-thru Easter Egg Event on Saturday, April 1.

“This event is something we look forward to putting on every year for our community,” said Nyrstar Human Resources Leader Nelda Washington. “Nothing beats seeing the excitement on the kids’ faces when they see the Easter Bunny and grab some candy!”

Drivers will pull into an auto line and make their way through the Nyrstar Easter Bunny course. Each child will receive a goodie bag and have a chance to visit with the Easter Bunny. Prize eggs will be handed out randomly to children throughout the day for larger prizes.

Kids won’t be the only ones with a prize opportunity. One lucky adult will win a Yeti Cooler when they register at the Easter Egg Event. The winner will be announced on Rewind 94.3.

The Community Drive-thru Easter Egg Event will be Saturday, April 1, rain or shine, 10 a.m.-noon, at Nyrstar Zinc Plant, 1800 Zinc Plant Road.
