Capital District Grown Up Egg Hunt 2015

Capital District Grownup Egg HuntThe Capital District Grown Up Egg Hunt is set to return April 12 in Troy's Prospect Park. It's pretty much what it sounds like. Blurbage:

The event, based on the childhood Easter tradition, will include more than 3,000 prize-filled eggs with items ranging from jewelry to alcohol vouchers to gift cards worth $50 or more. Prior to the main egg hunt, there will be food, a DJ, and Easter-themed activities like egg decorating and an Easter costume contest.
Along with offering thousands of dollars' worth of prizes in the eggs, in raffles, and the silent auction, the event strives to better the community and use a fun activity to help worthy causes. This year, the Egg Hunt will benefit Pints for Prostates and the Col. Albert Pawling Memorial Statue Project.

The will be the fourth year for the hunt. Organizers say it's raised more than $20,000 for charitable causes over the first three years, and it's aiming to raise $10,000 this year.

Admission to the hunt is $15. Registration starts at 2:30 pm on April 12, hunting at 3:15 pm. (You must be 18 to participate, and 21 and over to redeem the alcohol prizes.)
