Because of the rain forecasted for March 23, Pennsauken’s annual Easter Egg Hunt has been postponed to Saturday, March 30, at the same location and time.

Families can barely contain their egg-citement as the town welcomes the Easter Bunny back for Pennsauken’s annual Easter Egg Hunt. Sponsored by Pennsauken Township and Kiddie Junction of Pennsauken, this year’s free egg hunt will take place on Saturday, March 30, 10:00 a.m., at the Walt Nicgorski Sports Complex, located at Powell and Collins avenues. The Easter Egg Hunt is open to children up to age 9.

“Our Easter Egg Hunt is the start of several great Township events for the spring and summer,” said Pennsauken Mayor Marco DiBattista. “It’s an awesome event and we hope to see our families come out.”

“Pennsauken families look forward to our Easter Egg Hunt every year,” added Juan Vazquez, head of the Township’s Parks and Recreation Department. “We strongly encourage families to arrive early to make sure they get their picture taken with everyone’s favorite, long-eared celebrity.”

There will be three separate egg hunts broken down by age groups. Each hunt will feature special eggs. A child that collects one of these eggs will win special prizes, courtesy of Kiddie Junction.

In addition, family members should bring their cameras or cell phones to take free pictures with the Easter Bunny, who will be joined by several other costumed characters in a special photo area.

Children should be at the sports complex no later than 9:45 a.m. The first Easter Egg Hunt will start promptly at 10:00 a.m.; and the overall event ends quickly, usually finishing within a half hour. In addition, participants should bring a bag, basket, or other container to store their eggs. The rain date for the event is Saturday, March 30.
