The egg-citement is back in Milton with the return of the beloved Community Egg Hunt, slated for March 23. Families can anticipate an afternoon sprinkled with fun activities and a deluge of candy-filled eggs, as reported by the City of Milton's announcement. Kids won't want to miss their shot at this year's egg hunting action, taking place at the Cambridge High School football field with a kickoff for young 'sensory-sensitive' hunters at 3 p.m. followed by the main event from 4 to 6 p.m.
Nestled in the heart of suburban cheer, this family-friendly event is sponsored by a clutch of local heroes, including the Reid Casey Real Estate Team and Camp Arrowhead, Stonecreek Church's summer camp. Milton's gastronomic scene won't be left out, as food truck aficionados will be spoilt for choice with the various savory and sweet options on site. The full list of sponsors and partners have been detailed on the City of Milton's website. Parents who plan to attend can help organizers get a headcount by RSVP-ing through Eventbrite.
Aside from the traditional egg hunt, segregated by age to keep things fair, the bash will feature an array of activities to keep the energy levels high. According to the City of Milton, attendees can expect giant inflatables, a spanking new rock-climbing wall, and Milton Police's pint-sized 'Touch-a-Truck' exhibit. Adding to the colorful mayhem are a balloon artist, face painting, and an instrument-playing zoo, sure to strike a chord with the musically inclined. And for those looking to boogie down, a DJ will be spinning tracks to get everyone's bunnies hopping.
Let's not forget, the Easter Bunny will hop in around 4:15 p.m., much to the delight of the young and young at heart. With all these activities covered by generous sponsors, the event promises a wallet-friendly day out. According to a press release from the City of Milton, photo ops with the fabled rabbit and various delicious treats from local vendors such as the King of Pops and Baked Paradise are sure to round out an eventful day. For the scoop on the 'Virtual Egg Hunts' leading up to the event and any other questions, the city's community outreach manager Emily Salerno is the go-to.
Parking is available at Cambridge High, Stonecreek Church, and King’s Ridge Christian School, but attendees are kindly reminded not to park along Cogburn Road or Bethany Bend. With the countdown on and smiles guaranteed, the Milton Community Egg Hunt is shaping up to be the spring activity you don't want to miss.
