Mayor Duane Parry is announcing the return of the Michigan City Easter Egg Hunt.

 

It’s scheduled Saturday, April 8th in Fedder’s Alley at Washington Park.

 

“We are extremely excited for this year’s Easter Egg Hunt, as it is such a great event for the children in our community”, said Parry.

 

Children will be divided into various age groups.  A dedicated handicapped accessible area will be located near the entrance to the event.  Officials said the City will provide each child with a bag to collect plastic eggs filled with candy and prize tickets.

 

There will be collection boxes for the plastic eggs to be recycled at the end of the event, officials said.
