Take part in an “egg-citing” race for over 3,000 eggs filled with candy and prizes. The Milton Recreation Department is hosting its annual egg hunt on Saturday, April 8.
Celebrating the start of spring, the Milton egg hunt is a free event located in Bombardier Park. The event will take place in the Bombardier Park Fieldhouse, rain or shine. Follow the recreation department's Facebook page for updates on the event.
The recreation department is urging people to bring their own basket, and to dress warmly. For those interested, the egg hunt will be for those aged 0 to 9 years of age, starting at 10 a.m. The hunts will be broken up by ages.
At 11 a.m. there will be a separate hunt for those with additional needs, open to all ages. This hunt is for children who need a calmer atmosphere; there will be quieter music, fewer crowds and a set amount of eggs per participant. The eggs will be accessible for all with both kosher and non-food options available at both hunts.
Recreation director Jenna Tucker-Eugair said, "Special needs people of all ages are welcome to attend. Our focus is inclusion, so we see ages as a guideline than a hard and fast rule."
If a child finds the golden ticket, they will win the surprise grand prize!
More activities will take place at the hunt such as a bunny to take photos with, and other photo booths.
Fieldhouse restrooms are closed for the winter, so participants are encouraged to use the restrooms available in the Milton Public Library.
The egg hunt is recognized as a substance free event for children and community members of all ages. There will be no smoking, e-cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and weapons of any kind allowed in the park.
