City Hosts Free Easter Egg Hunts
Easter Brings Family Fun to Myers and Messer Parks
April 16, 2019
This weekend, thousands of eggs will lay scattered across Messer and Myers parks for only a short time before excited children scoop them into baskets during the annual Easter egg hunt celebrations.
On Saturday, April 20, the Eggstraordinary Easter Egg Hunt, which is designed for children with special needs, will take place from 1-4 p.m. at Messer Park North, 2830 Jackson Bluff Road. Sessions for children with differing abilities will be held throughout the afternoon.
The first egg hunt of the day officially starts at 1:30 p.m. and is designed for children with varying abilities. This is a fun time for children with a range of abilities and their siblings to enjoy the hunt together. The next session will begin at 2 p.m. for children with visual impairments. They will be able to find eggs using their ears. The 2:30 p.m. session is designed for children who use wheelchairs or walkers. They will be able to find magnetic eggs. The last session at 3 p.m. will be for children who have sensory issues and prefer to hunt Easter eggs in a quiet, calm environment.
At the egg hunt on Saturday, children will also enjoy bounce houses, crafts tables and refreshments. To volunteer or pre-register your child for the fourth annual Eggstraordinary Easter Egg Hunt, please contact Allison Behrman at 891-3885 or allison.behrman@talgov.com.
On Sunday, April 21, hop on over to Myers Park, 913 Myers Park Drive, for the City's 60th annual Easter Egg Hunt from 1-3 p.m. for kids ages 10 and under. Families will enjoy an eggciting afternoon complete with games, crafts and music. The egg hunt begins promptly at 2:30 p.m. Children participating in the Easter Egg Hunt should bring their own baskets, bags, etc.
Both egg hunts are free and open to the public. Pictures with the Easter Bunny will be available beginning at 1 p.m. at both events.
These events are some of the many family-friendly activities hosted each year through the City's Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs Department.
