The hunt will begin promptly at 10 a.m. There will be three hunts: PreK and Kindergarten, 1 st and 2 nd grades, and 3 rd through 5 th grades. The children will be searching for all kinds of treats as well as the special "number eggs" which win special prizes.

Parents are asked to observe age groupings in order to give all children a fair chance in the search for treats. If it rains, the hunts will be held on Monday, April 9th.
