This weekend is the only time it’s OK to put all your eggs in one basket.
Children have the opportunity to find Easter eggs at Puck’s Farm after the Easter bunny scattered hundreds of thousands of eggs across the fields and in the hay barn.
“It’s a lot of fun for parents and kids,” one of the farm founders, Mark Parr, said.
“It’s fun to watch all kids make a mad dash for all the eggs.”
This is the 28th year for what’s dubbed “the world’s largest egg hunt”.
Families can enjoy horse-drawn hay rides and listen to Anthony the singing cowboy.
The Easter bunny will also make an appearance during the egg scramble, where children line up on the edge of the field and when the whistle blows, they scatter and race to pick up the most eggs.
Aside from hunting for eggs, children can also meet and interact with newborn animals and learn about farming activities.
“People are cooped up in their homes all a winter,” Parr said.
“The events are family-fun-oriented and a great way to start the end of the winter season.”
All proceeds from the egg hunt help fund Puck’s Farm school and summer camp programs that start next month.
The school programs help promote nature among elementary school students.
“We hope kids will gain an appreciation for the natural environment,” Mr. Parr said.
“Hopefully, when they grow up, they will still have that appreciation and then help to preserve it.”
