Easter Egg Hunt and Coloring Contest
The Easter Egg Candy Hunt will be held Saturday, April 22 at the Chanhassen
Recreation Center. This year's musical entertainment will feature the Splatter
Sisters.
Flyers were distributed to all area schools the week of March 20. Flyers are also
available at City Hall and at the Recreation Center. I eliminated the Easter egg
coloring contest this year because the number of entries in previous years were
extremely low. The popular coloring contest is still being offered and forms were
delivered with the flyers to the area schools.
The Chanhassen Boy Scouts and Chaska High School Key Club kids will serve as
our volunteers this year. These groups will assist me in handling all the duties of
the event.
The candy hunt for all age groups will take place on the ball fields north of the
warming house. If this area is not suitable, the hockey rinks will be used as an
alternative location. The Splatter Sisters will perform at 9 a.m. with the candy
hunt taking place at the following times:
Ages 0-4:
Ages 5-8:
Ages 9-12:
10-10:15 a.m.
10:20-10:35 a.m.
10:40- 10:55 a.m.
