Capital Region Grown-Up Egg Hunt 2018
The Capital Region Grown-Up Egg Hunt returns April 8, and this year the hunt will be at Collins Park in Scotia.
The event is pretty much what it sounds like. Organizers stuff thousands of plastic eggs with some sort of prize -- candy, or a voucher for some item from a local business -- and then participants go find them. The proceeds from the hunt go to charity. Blurbage:
The Capital Region Grown-Up Easter Egg Hunt started in 2012 as part of a Leukemia & Lymphoma fundraiser. Founders Danielle Sanzone and Karen Jamack started joking with friends on social media about turning the childhood tradition of Easter Egg hunting into a "Grown Up" version featuring prizes geared towards adults. The idea gained so much traction, Sanzone and Jamack created the first event with just a handful of volunteers. It was so successful, they decided to make it an annual tradition benefiting a different charity every year.
We're excited the event has come full circle and will benefit the local Leukemia & Lymphoma Society once again.
The hunt is Sunday, April 8 starting at 4 pm. Tickets are $15 (cash only), available at the event. This year's hunt will be limited to 300 participants.
