Easter Egg Hunt in Acworth

Submitted by on March 25, 2012 – 9:04 pmNo Comment |

The City of Acworth Parks and Recreation Department is partnering with Freedom Church to bring the kids of our community a fresh spin on a time honored tradition, Acworth’s first after dark Easter Egg Hunt!!! The Easter Bunny will be “dropping” in on Friday, March 30 at the Acworth Sports Complex, located at 4000 South Main St. Acworth, GA 30101 and he is bringing 30,000 eggs filled with candy. The Easter Bunny will be Skydiving in before the hunt begins! We are encouraging everyone to arrive at 7:30 p.m. to see the grand entrance!! The actual Easter Egg Hunt will begin at 8:00 p.m.
The hunt will be for all children through the 5th grade. The children will be divided into four age groups.
3 and under:  8 p.m.
PreK – Kindergarten group: 8:15 p.m.
1st grade – 3rd grade: 8:30 p.m.
4th grade – 5th grade: 8:30 p.m.
Within each age group there will be a prize egg that can be redeemed for great prizes.  All participants will receive a mini-flashlight courtesy of Cobb EMC to help light their way. The hunts will take place on the football fields (North side of the Complex); parking will be available on the South side of the Complex where the baseball fields are located.
There will be a Special Needs Easter Egg Hunt again this year on the Horizon Field. This hunt will begin at 8:30 p.m. and is for children through the 5th grade with Special Needs.
