County hosts spring egg hunt on March 30

MONTGOMERY — Orange County will host its annual spring egg hunt on Saturday, March 30, 11 a.m., at Thomas Bull Memorial Park, 211 State Route 416 in Montgomery.

Children aged 7 years and younger are invited to participate. Admission is free.

The Easter Bunny and a few of his friends will be there to greet everyone. Parents are invited to dress-up their little ones to resemble the Easter Bunny and receive a special prize. Also on-site will be “Operation Safe Child,” the children’s ID program conducted by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

The hunt area will be divided into separate sections to accommodate different age groups. In addition, there will be an accessible area for children with disabilities. Large chocolate prizes will be awarded for special eggs found, and each child will receive a bag of candy courtesy of longtime event sponsor, ShopRite.
