PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS: INVITATION TO THE EASTER EGG CANDY HUNT.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you and welcome to everybody that’s joined us here this evening and for
those watching at home as well, we’re glad you joined us. I would ask at this time if there are
any additions or modifications to the agenda. If there are none then we’ll proceed with the
agenda as published. Hearing none. Start with a couple of public announcements. The first is
our Easter Egg Candy Hunt. Annually the City of Chanhassen, in cooperation with our local
businesses sponsors a series of special events. In the spring the event is the Easter Egg Candy
th
Hunt which will be held on Saturday, March 26. It’s a week from this coming Saturday. I’d
like to invite all the residents and their family and friends to come out to the Chanhassen Rec
Center. The event starts at 9:00. They’ll have the Splatter Sisters again this year. Always a fun
event for the children. There will be an Easter egg candy hunt and a lot of fun. Each year the
attendance seems to grow so please come out. It’s a lot of fun for all the children. Good family
event. Children ages 4 to 12 are invited to participate in a coloring contest and it’s always a fun
time. There will be a lot of prizes. The event is free and no pre-registration is required so look
forward to seeing many of you there. Also would like to make sure everybody’s aware that this
th
coming Sunday, March 20 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. the Lion’s, Chanhassen’s Lions and the
Chanhassen Fire Department are hosting their annual pancake breakfast. This is also a fun event.
It’s good to bring the children out. They get to see some of the equipment in our fire department.
The Lion’s do a great job. It’s always a fun time so if people are looking for a Sunday brunch
th
this coming Sunday on the 20, 8:00 to 1:00 at the fire station, right here on Laredo.
