The Apache Junction Parks and Recreation Department invites the community to participate in its annual Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 16, at Prospector Park, 3015 N. Idaho Road.
“Come help find over 8,500 prize filled eggs. This egg hunt is open to all ages and is free to the public. The hunt is divided up into separate age groups: 2 and under, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10, 11-15 and 16 and over,” according to a release. “Special prizes will be given to those who find a token in the egg during the hunt. Don’t forget to bring your Easter baskets to carry all of your goodies.”
The Easter Bunny will be making an appearance at the event.
The first egg hunt will begin at 9 a.m. for children 2 and under. The remaining hunts will begin immediately after the first in order of age.
Be sure to come early and allow for plenty of time to park. The hunt will take place on the softball fields at Prospector Park, about 1/8th of a mile north of Lost Dutchman Boulevard. Registration is not required.
