The Town of Gypsum’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt is back again this year with thousands of filled eggs, a few surprise golden eggs, activities, crafts and of course an appearance by the Easter Bunny.
The family friendly event will be held Saturday, April 19 at Gypsum Town Center at 10 a.m. and will feature over 3,000 eggs filled with candy and special prizes. The Easter Egg Hunt age divisions include: 1-4, 5-6 and 7-12. The Easter Bunny will be making a guest appearance so don’t forget your basket! In addition, Western Eagle County Municipal Recreation District (WECMRD) will be doing Eggquatics, an underwater egg hunt for awesome prizes in the following age categories: 0 -2 & 6 – 8 at 11:30am and 3 –5 & 9-12 at 11:45am.
For the early risers, The Gypsum Fire Department and the Town of Gypsum will be hosting a pancake breakfast before the egg hunt at 9:00am. Donations to the Gypsum Fire Protection District are welcome.
The Town of Gypsum and WECMRD, according to Special Projects Coordinator, Krista DeHerrera, “Easter is a time to welcome spring and the sunshine! We look forward to this great family event and welcome folks from Gypsum and Eagle.”
When asked why Parent’s Handbook of the Vail Valley stepped up to sponsor the event, Publisher, Alan Sandberg, explained “The Town of Gypsum has created so many great family events. The Easter Egg Hunt has grown tremendously over the years. It is well organized, fun for all and a safe environment for the kids. The event is perfect for The Parents Handbook to interact with local, down-valley parents and grand-parents.”
