Fun Twist on Easter Egg Hunt
Clarence will be
putting a fun
twist on Easter
Egg Hunts this
year. A traditional egg hunt
will be held for
children, ages 011 years on
Saturday, April
19 at 10am at
the Clarence
Park. Kids will
be divided by
age, 0-3 years, 4
-7 years and 811 years, to give
the little ones a
chance at collecting a few eggs of their
own. Find the golden egg and
take home the big prize! All
participants will exchange
their egg haul for a goody bag,
filled with treats.
In addition to the children's
egg hunt the Library Board is
sponsoring a fun event for
those ages 12 and over!!
You’re never too old to go on
an egg hunt! On Friday evening, April 18, beginning at
8pm, they will be hosting a
FLASHLIGHT EGG HUNT!
The park will be divided into
two sections, one for families
with children and one for
teens age 12 and over. Be
sure to bring a bucket and
flashlight as you search out the
golden egg for a chance at
some great prizes! This will
be a great community event
and the Board hopes all will
make an effort to attend! For
more information visit
www.ClarenceBuildsaLibrary.bl
ogspot.com or by calling the
library at 452-3734.
Event will be held rain or shine.
