Grab your baskets and your camera: Pennsauken Township’s annual Easter Egg Hunt is right around the corner.
This year’s event, sponsored by the Pennsauken Youth Action Committee, will take place on Saturday, April 4, 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.
“This is a great annual event that Pennsauken families look forward to every year,” says Elwood Martz, 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 golden eggs. A child that collects one of these golden eggs will win a free prize.
In addition, family members should bring their cameras or cell phones to take free pictures with the Easter Bunny, who will be in attendance throughout the event.
Children should be at the sports complex no later than 9:45 a.m. The egg hunts start promptly at 10:00 a.m. and ends fairly quickly. The event is usually over 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, April 11. For more information, call (856) 665-1000 x151 or e-mail emartz@twp.pennsauken.nj.us.
