EGGSTRAVAGANZA
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Bring your basket and hop on over for this EGG–citing day. Help us hunt for the
elusive golden egg, hidden in a field full of thousands of colorful eggs. All eggs can
be redeemed for a prize following the hunt, but if you’re lucky enough to spot the
golden egg, we have a special prize for you! Don’t forget to try out some of our EGGcellent games. The day wouldn’t be complete without a visit from the Easter Bunny. Be
sure to bring your camera!
