Eagle Easter Egg Hunt:

The hunt is divided into age areas and is open to kids 10 and under.  Bring your basket and get ready to gather up eggs full of candy and toys.  The Easter Bunny will be hopping around the park throughout the morning.

Following the hunt, the annual Eggernaut Competition is planned. Kids are invited to invent an egg protection contraption and their handiwork will then be dropped from the Greater Eagle Fire Departments 50-foot ladder truck.  Egg apparatus must not contain any metal, glass or other material that may shatter upon impact.  They must also weigh less than 5 pounds total.  The eggs will be given to you at the start of the event and must be able to be removed or viewed after the drop.

The egg hunt is sponsored by the Batsons Corner Store and the Town of Eagle.
