The Town of Peace River is ready to bring an ‘egg’citing time on April 19 as it welcomes the public to Kinsmen Park to celebrate a hippity-hoppity good time!
The annual Easter Egg-Stravaganza will be held at the park in the north end of Peace River from 1-3 p.m.
“This event offers a fun-filled, free Easter experience and provides a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy a day outdoors at a local park,” says recreation programmer Taylor Bak.
“The event is hosted by the Town of Peace River, with collaboration between the recreation team and the Family Resource Network,” she adds.
Bak says everyone is welcome to attend the event, but the event is best suited for children zero to 10 years of age.
“We’ve got an exciting Easter Egg hunt planned, with eggs hidden throughout the park,” Bak says.
“There will be two separate hunts: one for younger kids (easier hunt) and a new, challenging hunt for older kids (ages 8+). Once all the eggs are found, participants can exchange them for a special goodie bag.”
Bak says the Family Resource Network will also be on-site offering fun activities for children. No food or drinks will be provided by the town at the event, so she says to bring some with you if you’ll require them through the event.
“Spoiler alert, there will be some sweet treats in the goodie bags,” she says. “This event is completely free, and the only thing we ask is that families bring their own bag to collect Easter eggs.
“The Town of Peace River believes in creating accessible, free events that bring the community together,” she adds.
The Easter Bunny will not be on hand for the event, as his schedule will not permit his attendance this year. However; Bak says the event is sure to be pleasing for everyone.
“These events foster a sense of community by bringing people together in a fun, positive environment,” Bak explains.
“They promote outdoor activity, allow families to connect, and help create lasting memories. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to celebrate the Easter season as a group.”
Bak says to stay updated on the event, people should ensure they are following the Town of Peace River’s Facebook page.
