#5 EggStravaganza Reformats Egg Hunt 🐣🔍

Big changes came to this year’s EggStravaganza! 🥚 Instead of the traditional mad dash for eggs, we introduced a scavenger hunt style that had kids searching for 6 GIANT eggs hidden around the park. 🕵️‍♀️ Once a giant egg was found, participants could claim their prize egg from a nearby volunteer. 🏆 This new format wasn’t just fun; it prioritized safety and ensured every child got the same number of eggs—because all little bunnies deserve a fair chance to play! 🐰💛 What did you think of this egg-cellent twist? Let us know!
