Kids can register at the Egg Hunt Table beginning at 9:30 am. The Egg and Scavenger Hunt starts at 11:00 am with the Easter Bunny as Master of Ceremonies. There will be plenty of sweet filled eggs as well as some eggs containing clues…Solve the clue by finding the right Market vendor table and receive a special surprise!
