Many cmmunity Easter Egg Hunts may look a little different this year due to the cold and snowy weather.
LOGAN – Saturday’s Easter egg festivities abound in Cache Valley on March 30. Easter egg hunts are over within minutes so it may be better to be early than late.
Starting at the south end of the valley, Hyrum City will hold their Easter egg hunt at the City Square at 83 W. Main, starting at 9 a.m. on March 30. The Teen Easter Egg Hunt is at 9 p.m. at the rodeo grounds.
Nibley City has moved away from the traditional Easter egg hunt. The city will be holding an Easter Egg Run Hopstacle Course on March 30, at 9 a.m. The activity will be located at Virgil Gibbons Heritage Park at 2456 S. 800 West. Registration can be done the night before or at 8 a.m. the morning prior to the event.
Chad Wright, the recreation director for the city, thought the traditional Easter egg hunt was over in minutes and gave little time for the community to interact with each other. So, they turned it into a fitness activity, a Hopstacle Course where kids chased the Easter Bunny through some obstacles before being rewarded with candy.
Wendy Linberg, the utility specialist at Nibley City, said they also have a 1-mile-run and a 5 k Run. For more information, contact Nibley City at (435) 752-0431.
Millville City asked the Easter Bunny to hide eggs at Millville Splash Pad Park, located at about 450 East 300 South. Participants should bring their own baskets and cameras. The dash for candy will be on Saturday at the Millville Park at 10 a.m. sharp. By 10:05 it’s all over.
They have two or three different age groups and children will need to bring their own basket or bag to gather their eggs.
Providence City is having an Easter egg hunt and they have invited the Easter Bunny to be there on Saturday. There will two hunts: one at 11:00 a.m. and another one at 12 noon at Von Baer Park. People need to register at providencecity.com.
The Easter Bunny will be available for photographs with the children.
Logan City is not holding an Easter egg hunt, but the Logan Downtown Alliance is holding an Easter Walk. For those who may not want to do a traditional run and grab hunt, downtown businesses will open their doors for children wanting a treat. The Easter candy collection from downtown businesses will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The businesses participating will have sign in their window.
Smithfield City is holding their Easter egg hunt at Mac Park on Saturday March 30, at 9 a.m. In case of inclement weather, it will be held at the Smithfield Rec Center, said Ed Haines, who works for Smithfield Parks and Rec.
Richmond City’s Easter egg hunt will also be Saturday at 9 a.m. in the city park located at 135 W. Main Street.
When it comes to donating eggs in the north end of the valley, Big J’s in Richmond and Preston has supplied hundreds of stuffed eggs with candy and other goodies for community Easter Egg Hunts.
“We donated some to Richmond, Lewiston, Trenton, Franklin, Weston, Preston and there might be more,” said Dave Johnson, one of Big J’s owners. “We try to hit all of the neighboring communities.”
