Hundreds of children take part in annual egg hunt at Sioux City Musketeers game
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Easter came a little early for people that attended the Sioux City Musketeers game at the Tyson Events Center on Friday.
Almost 200 children participated in the annual Charlie Battle's Big Egg Hunt, which took place during the first intermission of the Musketeers game against the Dubuque Fighting Saints.
Children ages 12 and under went through pools of eggs to hunt for prizes. There was a total of 3,000 eggs with a piece of candy inside of each egg. There were also the following prizes in some eggs:
100 free youth tickets good for a potential Sioux City Musketeers playoff game
10 signed pucks
5 signed hockey sticks
5 team signed posters from the 2023-2024 team
'It's a great involvement, anybody can win and awesome that they got limitations so everybody gets a chance to win and then we never know what we're going to get. I mean a locker tour because we found an egg, that's awesome. It makes their day, you know it makes their year. They get an autograph stick from the Musketeers,' said The Kruse Family from Sioux City.
'It's a great event. We started this is like our fourth or fifth year doing it and it just kind of gets bigger and better every year and we love doing it for the kids,' said Travis Morgan, CEO of the Sioux City Musketeers.
A locker tour was a part of the pre-game golden egg hunt for children over the age of 12, where 10 golden eggs were hidden throughout the Tyson Events Center for them to find.
Musketeers officials said there was a prize inside of each golden egg that included a team signed stick or get the chance to drop the puck at a game next season.
