The annual Community Egg Hunt is scheduled for Saturday, March 23.
The egg hunt is scheduled to start at 11 a.m., and it has been organized by the City of Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks Department.
The free egg hunt will be a traditional-style Egg Hunt held at Alvin K. Bissell Park, a press release said. Parking will be available at both the east and west parking lots at the Oak Ridge Civic Center.
“In the event of severe weather, eggs and prizes will be handed out via drive through at the Oak Ridge Recreation Center,” the press release said.
The event is limited to children who are between four years old and fourth grade. Families are asked to pre-register at orrecparks.recdesk.com. “Pre-registration helps staff plan for the correct number of eggs and other supplies,” the press release said.
It said the Recreation and Parks Department staff will make a reasonable effort to provide appropriate accommodations for children who require an accessible area to hunt. Parents are encouraged to call the Recreation and Parks Department at (865) 425-3450 to make arrangements.
Adult volunteers (ages 16 and up) are needed to hide eggs, supervise the hunt areas, and help participants. All volunteers should be prepared to work from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the day of the event and they should dress according to the weather. The first 50 volunteers to sign up will receive an event T-shirt, the press release said. A pizza lunch will be served to all volunteers immediately following the event.
For more information, call the Recreation Center front desk at (865) 425-3450 or visit the Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks website at orrecparks.oakridgetn.gov.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
