Easter' Egg Candy Hunt Evaluation
The Chanhassen Parks and Recreation Department's Easter Egg Candy Hunt was
held on Saturday, April 22 at the Chanhassen Recreation Center. There were
between 700-800 participants at the event.
The "Splatter Sisters" provided the entertainment for this year's event. Once
again, they were a great attraction and an added feature to the festivities. I would
recommend booking them again for next year.
The Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Chaska High School Key Club members assisted
with many of the volunteer duties for this event. Volunteers continue to be an
integral part of making this event run smoothly. I would ask all three groups to
assist with next year's event if they are interested. The event's success was also
aided by the assistance of the Rec Center' staff and Charlie Eilers.
Overall, the event was a success. The Chanhassen Recreation Center serves as an
excellent site for this event.
Recommendations for 2001:
· Re-work logistical arrangements for Splatter Sisters entertainment
e Continue with the plastic eggs along with the candy
Provide more gift certificates for older age groups(e.g. Byerly's, McDonald's)
· Publish times for each age group; put times back to back
· Possibly add a two and three year old age group for coloring contest
