Non-residents may now register for Spring Fling!
Thursday, April 6 at Drake Sports Park, 4 time slots still available, ages 1-7
Flashlight Hunt begins at approximately 8:30 pm and is for ages 7-12
Scramble: All the eggs are split and scrambled up! It’s your job to put them back together and turn them in for a treat! Bring a basket to carry your goodies in and a camera to take a picture with Mr. Bunny. A petting farm and train ride will also be available at the event.
Toddlers, children ages 1-2, will be asked to collect 10 eggs and then turn them in for a prize. Children ages 3–7 years old will be given five egg halves to search for their matching halves that are spread out on a field. After they match all their egg halves up they will turn them in for a prize.
Additional activities will conclude at 8:15 pm. The 4:30 timeslot is reserved for children ages 1-4 only.
Flashlight Hunt: An “egg-citing” twist on one of our most popular events, designed for our slightly older egg hunters. This is at Drake Sports Park after dark, so bring your flashlight and be prepared to “really hunt” down those hidden treasures.
