Sedona AZ (March 19, 2012) – This is much more than an egg hunt; it’s a Celebration of Spring! Join City of Sedona Parks and Recreation on Saturday, April 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for this fun, family-friendly event. All those in the community that enjoy spring and the outdoors are invited.
Once you arrive, walk to the Posse Grounds Park lower softball field for admission tickets and then onto the multi-use field for games and vendors. There is a $2 admission fee for children 12 and younger. What is included with this fee? A lot of fun! Inflatable toys for kids, petting zoo, pony rides, face painting, carnival rides and much more are included for the attendees. Some vendors may be charging for their goods.
The official egg hunt will begin at 10 a.m. for children 8 years of age and younger. Children will be divided up into age groups (0-2, 3-5, 6-8), and there are thousands of eggs waiting to be found! This year we ask parents to please refrain from assisting their children during the egg hunt unless they are 2 years of age or younger. Are your children too old for the egg hunt? At 10:30 a.m., we offer a scavenger hunt around the park for children 9 to12 years of age.
Local businesses will be on site with booths set up for viewing and participation as well as various instructors will be hand with fun, interactive displays for children. This is sure to be a fun event and we invite you all to come on over and enjoy this Celebration of Spring with us.
We encourage you to pre-purchase tickets beginning Monday, March 26 at the Parks and Recreation office, Sedona City Hall, 102 Roadrunner Drive. Tickets are limited. The first three hundred kids through the gate get a free Easter basket courtesy of Walmart. Special thanks to Zainey’s Frozen Yogurt and Arizona Water Company for sponsoring this community event. The event is held at Posse Grounds Park, located at 525 Posse Grounds Road. For more information, contact Parks and Recreation at 282-7098 or view our website at www.SedonaAz.gov/Parks.
