Decatur’s Easter Eggstravaganza Set for March 28 at Ingalls Pavilion

In and around Ingalls Pavilion, thousands of Easter eggs will be hidden for children to discover when Decatur Parks and Recreation and Epic Church team together to host the third annual Easter Eggstravaganza. Children ages 10 and under are invited to hunt for Easter eggs and enjoy other family-friendly activities on Saturday, March 28, 2015, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Visitors are in for an egg-citing time beginning at 11 a.m. There will be activity booths, contests, and visits with the Easter Bunny. The highlight of this year’s event is an Easter Egg Hunt with 50,000 eggs, which begins promptly at 11:30 a.m. Children will be divided into four age groups and there will be a designated time for those with special needs. Ages 2-4 will hunt for eggs at 11:30 a.m., ages 5-7 at 12 p.m., ages 8-10 at 12:30 p.m., and special needs at 1 p.m.

For kids in Pre-K through 5^th grade, there is a free coloring contest with every participant receiving a prize. Visit the Decatur Parks & Recreation’s Facebook page and go to Events to download the coloring sheet and bring your masterpiece to Ingalls Pavilion between 11 a.m. and noon on the day of the event.

The free event will also offer a variety of activities including inflatables, face painting, sack races, spoon and egg races, egg toss games, making crafts, and a special appearance by the Easter Bunny who will be available for pictures. The Pepsi wagon will be there with drinks and popcorn and food will be available for purchase from Little Caesars Pizza and Downtown Dawgs.
