“We want this to be an Easter Egg Hunt on steroids,” said Brian Olson, who is chairing the Easter Egg Hunt committee along with Allison Hardy for the Heritage Association of San Marcos. “It is not just candy. We get sponsors for the event, so we can purchase nice toys and prizes like fishing poles and tackle boxes, bicycles and rafts. It is mainly toys and activities people can do outside.”
The 3rd Annual Easter Egg Hunt in Veramendi Plaza Park will be the weekend before Easter on Saturday, March 23 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Last year’s rainout on Easter led to the decision to move the event forward a week. That way, if rain comes falling again, it could be bumped back to Easter weekend. The Easter Egg Hunt is free and open to the public, and it is ideal for children ages two through 10 years old. However, there will be park activities planned for all ages.
