The hunt was on at the Morton Grove Park District ‘Eggstravaganza' hunt event for children and pooches,
The Morton Grove Park District held its annual 'Eggstravaganza' egg hunt at Prairie View Park, bringing nearly 200 kids age 1 to 10 to the park to search for treat-filled plastic eggs. Then, after their early morning treasure hunt, the dogs took to the field for the 'Doggie Egg Hunt.' Organizers said 44 dogs participated.
'We heard from many participants [who] say they had a great time at the event,' Park District Recreation Supervisor Claire Baumgartner told Pioneer Press via email. 'Kids had a great time scooping up eggs, looking for a golden egg for a prize, seeing the bunny, and enjoying the beautiful weather.'
Baumbartner said the Park District is pleased with the turnout.
The annual event features a visit by the Easter bunny, and the eggs the kids find have small toys and candy inside.
The event was broken up into age groups, with 1- and 2-year-olds hunting first in an event exclusively for their age group. The older children filled their bags and baskets – which they had to provide themselves – with goodies. Then, the dogs' hunt was held.
All participants had to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, according to the flyer announcing the event.
'We had a wonderful turnout of participants on a beautiful April day. Families came and stuck around to find all the treasures in their eggs and to enjoy the park. We have a great time putting on this event, seeing everyone get together as a community, and watching the kids light up as they find all their goodies,' Baumgartner stated in the email.
