Easter egg hunts will be the order of the day next Saturday, April 4.
The Jefferson park and recreation department and the Jefferson Kiwanis Club will co-sponsor an Easter egg hunt at the Greene County Community Center for toddlers through third graders. Registration will begin at 9:30 am with the hunt going quickly at 10.
Children will be divided by age. Local businesses provide candy and prizes, and every child is guaranteed to receive an egg. The Easter Bunny offers a heads-up to parents: Some of the eggs will contain vouchers that should be traded for gift certificates at the Community Center desk.
Pre-registration at the Community Center is appreciated but not required. For a registration form, click here: JPRD Easter egg hunt
