Hope you've got your egg-hunting game face on because it's that time of year again in Surprise, Arizona – the city's Eggstravaganza is back and it's inviting all you keen egg hunters out on March 30 to Surprise Stadium, as reported by the City News of Surprise. Grab those baskets and join the hullabaloo as thousands of candy and toy-stuffed plastic eggs wait to be discovered.

Starting bright and early, gates swing open at 7:30 a.m., with the first scurry for eggs kicking off at 8:20 a.m. for the toddler crowd and continuing in waves for different age groups till about 10:20 a.m., when it's a free-for-all, so latecomers, you haven’t missed out on all the fun. Expect more than just egg hunting – there's a kids zone, a market run by pint-sized entrepreneurs, food trucks to curb those cravings, and even some face time with Mr. & Mrs. Bunny, just remember, it's all about the kiddos so parents, you can only hit the field with the 2 and under brigade, according to Surprise, Arizona.

No price tag on all this fun, just bring along a canned food donation to support Valley View Community Food Bank, so you're doing some good while having a ball. Mind you, if you’re planning to hightail it over there yourself, avoid Bullard Avenue for your commute as it’s getting the squeeze from some road closures, but you can sneak around using Paradise Lane or tiptoe in via Tierra Buena Lane to snag a parking spot, so you're not circling for spots instead of snatching eggs, as per  Surprise, Arizona. 

Oh, and for those who might think to bring Fido along for the ride, the event’s putting up the stop sign on pets—but service animals, get the green light. Get the lowdown on all the Easter action at the official event site or dial up the folks over at Surprise Parks & Recreation at 623.222.2000 for the details, who knows you might just make a day of it that winds up being, well, no pun intended, a real surprise.
