Easter Egg Hunt for area youth at Waukon City Park this Saturday

Epic Wear of Waukon is hosting a free Easter Egg Hunt for area youth ages 12 and under. The event will take place this Saturday, April 4 at Waukon City Park, rain or shine, beginning at 10 a.m. with registration at the Thompson Shelter near the newer Project Playground area located in the lower-lying center of the park.
There will be over 3,000 eggs filled with candy, and the Easter Bunny is scheduled to be there, too. Participating children will have the chance to win a large prize, such as a bicycle, or other small prizes, such as bubbles, sidewalk chalk or jump ropes. Registered names will be drawn to win prizes following the Easter Egg Hunt. The Allamakee County 4-H County Council will be partnering with Epic Wear to fill eggs and volunteer at the event.
“It’s been several years since there was a large Easter Egg Hunt for the kids in Waukon," shared Tyler and Mandy Halverson of Epic Wear. "We’d like to bring back this fun community event. Thanks to other local organizations and businesses for supporting the event!”
Registration for the event will begin at 10 a.m. and the hunt will begin shortly after. Kids ages 12 and under are reminded to bring their Easter baskets, and parents are reminded to bring their cameras.
