Jaycees set to hide eggs Saturday

It ’tis the season for Easter egg hunts. Junior Auxiliary had to postpone its egg hunt scheduled yesterday and will be holding it today at 2 p.m. at Hickory Creek. Next weekend is the Jaycees egg hunt at 10 a.m. at Pistole Park.

McMinnville Jaycees will be holding their annual Easter Egg Hunt at Pistole Park this coming Saturday, March 22 at 10 a.m. Admission is $5 and all ages are welcome. The eggs will be filled with candy.

‘We try and have more than the year before,’ said McMinnville Jaycees public relations director Wade Fox. ‘The children have so much fun. It’s not just the children who have fun during our Easter egg celebration. The parents have just as much fun.’

Candy inside the eggs will be child appropriate. For instance, ages 2-3 will have gummy candies. None of the eggs will contain chocolate, and sugar free candy will be available for diabetic children.

Hopping busy, but always ready for some egg-hunting fun, the Easter Bunny will be enjoying the activities. Parents are encouraged to bring a camera and make pictures.

Among the 16,000 eggs will be silver and gold eggs. The lucky finders of those eggs will be presented with larger baskets filled with goodies of all kinds.

‘We want to invite everyone out,’ said Fox. ‘The day will be exciting and fun. Everyone is welcome.’
