Easter eggers

Posted

All eggs don’t necessarily go into one basket.

Consider this: there are at least five opportunities for youngsters to engage in hunting Easter eggs this year.

And that doesn’t begin to take into account the sheer number of homegrown hunts.

Perhaps the best known locally is the Purcell Kiwanis Club’s Easter Eggstravaganza, which organizers changed up a bit in keeping with social distancing practices and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

On Saturday, the club will host a revamped hunt at the Purcell Multipurpose Center parking lot, 1400 Chandler Park Road.

Starting at 9 a.m., children will be able to pick up a bag according to their age group (0 to 2 years, 3 to 5 years, 6 to 8 years and 9 to 12 years).

If there’s a prize egg in a bag, that child can take it to a designated vehicle and collect the prize.

Participants are asked to wear masks and practice social distancing. Children must be present to receive a bag.

This won’t be the area’s only eggstravaganza.

First Baptist Church in Washington will host their own Easter EGGstravaganza at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

One other local church will sponsor an Easter egg hunt on Saturday.

That is Landmark Church’s Community Egg Hunt at 11 a.m.

There will also be two Sunday hunts for Easter eggs.

Sunray Baptist Church has scheduled a hunt at 11:15 a.m. on Easter.

And in Lexington, Christian Life Church’s Easter egg hunt will commence following the Easter morning worship service.

Also on the schedule there will be an egg drop from a truck ladder.
