CITY OF FRISCO SPONSORS TWO EGG-CELLENT EVENTS CELEBRATING SPRING:
Easter Eggstravaganza Moves To Pizza Hut Park For Largest Hunt In Texas
March 28;
NEW Aqua Egg Hunt To Be Held at Frisco Athletic Center April 4
(March 19, 2009) Celebrate spring by attending two EGG-cellent events
featuring the largest egg hunt in Texas - plus an indoor pool and prize
filled eggs!
This year, the 17th annual Easter Eggstravaganza moves to Pizza Hut Park
where 60,000 candy filled eggs will dot fields 9 - 14 on Saturday, March
28. Pizza Hut Park is located just east of the northeast corner of Dallas
Parkway and Main Street. The fun gets started at 9 a.m. and continues
until noon. The free egg hunt starts at 10:30 a.m. sharp for children,
ages 12 and under. (*No strollers allowed on the fields, please. Also,
bring your basket, but leave your soccer ball at home.)
This family favorite also features face painting, games, crafts, bounce
houses and a chance to see - and take a photo with Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Cottontail. Most of the festivities will be located in the parking lot
near the Dr Pepper Victory Center concession area. Bounce houses and
photos with the Easter Bunny can be found on field 10.
Parents will enjoy stopping by the Summer Programs Expo where Parks and
Recreation Department staff will share information about upcoming
athletic, aquatic and recreation programs and leagues, as well as special
events, services and summer camps. Instructors will be on hand to answer
questions, too.
Show off your creative side and compete for prizes in the annual Easter
Bonnet and Vest Decorating Contest. Children of all ages are welcome to
make a bonnet or vest from scratch or dress up something store bought.
Wear your creation and check in by 9:30 a.m. Judging begins at 9:45 a.m.
Even more eggs are up for grabs as a brand NEW event makes a BIG splash in
Frisco! Join us for Frisco's first Aqua Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 4 from
11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at the Frisco Athletic Center, 5828 Nancy Jane
Lane.
Kids, ages three to ten, are invited to swim and hunt for prize filled
eggs! Admission is $10 and includes 'the hunt', a day long swim pass and
a treat from the Easter Bunny himself. Pre-registration is required and
available online at http://www.friscofun.org - or in person at the Frisco
Athletic Center. Registration ends April 3. Children under seven who
stay to swim for the day must be accompanied by an adult.
