Easter Egg Candy Hunt Evaluation
Between 500 and 600 kids and parents attended the event, which was down slightly from the
previous year.
The Splatter Sisters were this year's entertainment. Their Ngh energy show was a lot of fun for
chicken and parents alike. They are very easy to work with and I would book them again.
The volunteers from the Boy Scouts and one of the Chanlmssen Gift Scout Troops were a great
asset with general help and candy distribution. Volunteers provide such a great service at these
types of special events. Both groups will be asked to help again next year.
I recommend that the Easter Egg Candy Hunt continue lo be held at the Chanhassen Recreation
Center. It offers great flexibility for all weather conditions, and has ample room for
entertainment. The candy hunt was held in the grassy area on the north side of the building and
provided enough space for all the participants and observers to feel comfortable.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2000
· Consider event name change to exclude the term "Easter" (e.g. Spring egg and candy hunt)
· Hold event at the Chanhassen Recreation Center
· Emphasize name/features of entertainment group, on the flyers
· On flyers exclude listing various start times for different age groups
· Provide an informational sheet on commonly asked questions to volunteers helping inside
and with crowd control
· Add adaptive section to the coloring contest and candy hunt for special needs groups
