Alpharetta Easter Egg Hunt Starts at 11 Today

EDITOR'S NOTE: The city has said in case of inclement weather, the event will be canceled. Alpharetta-Milton Patch will update the status of the event after a heavy downpour hit town early this moring, but call the Adult Activity Center at North Park (678-297-6140) if the weather is questionable.

Children age 3 to 10 can participate in the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Alpharetta's North Park softball fields 1-4 on Saturday, March 23.

The hunt begins promptly at 11 a.m. Children will be divided into age groups as they "hunt" for thousands of plastic eggs filled with toys and candy.

Although there won't be a designated area for children age 2 and under, they won't be going home empty-handed. Each child age 2 and under will receive a special Easter surprise.

The city of Alpharetta Recreation and Parks Department and the Alpharetta Golden Age Club again will co-sponsor the event.

Pre-hunt activities include face-painting and inflatables, with the Easter Bunny as a special guest.  Parents are asked to bring their cameras to capture magical photos of their children with the Easter Bunny.

For more information, call 678-297-6140 or send email to the Adult Activity Center's staff.
