Spring weather has the beach bunnies hopping around and that means it’s time for the Isle of Palms Recreation Center to host its annual Easter Egg Hunt. The festivities will include candy, fun and the Easter Bunny, of course.
This year, the Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for April 18, on Good Friday, from noon to 2 p.m. The recreation center will hold the event rain or shine and all are invited. Schools will be dismissed early that day, so no children will miss out. In previous years, attendance has reached hundreds and this year, the recreation center anticipates around 800 participants.
There will be four different age categories for the egg hunt:
- 3 & Under
- 4-6
- 7-8
- 9-12
Staff will scatter several hundred plastic eggs across the grounds. Once the children collect the eggs, they can turn them in for candy. In addition to candy, there will be jump castles, face painting, music by Paul Coleman from DeepWater Church and concessions.
“Family-friendly fun for all! It’s a quick event; however, it’s wonderfully organized chaos,” explained Kelsey Marsh, recreation supervisor-special events. “Many people attend it and it’s delightful to witness, especially the younger kids who run around excitedly searching for eggs. Then, it’s all over in a few minutes.”
Bring the family out to enjoy this gathering celebrating the Easter holiday. There are plenty of eggs to go around for everyone.
