Aldersgate to Host “Easter Eggstravaganza” on Saturday, April 1st

Special Release – The Aldersgate Enrichment Center will host its second annual Easter Eggstravaganza event on Saturday, April 1st, beginning at 8 a.m. at 5001 Hwy 183/84 East in Early. Activities during the Eggstravaganza will include a special needs egg hunt, an egg run obstacle course, silent auction, egg roulette tournament, and a cheer performance.

“This event was inspired by the need for an Easter Egg hunt for special needs kids in our community,” says Marshall Thornhill with Aldersgate. “We will have a Special Hunt and indoor carnival for them. We will also have a 3-mile obstacle course called the Advocare Egg Run that we are making the featured event of the day. There are 12 obstacles and lots of mud, dirt, and fun! There is also an Egg Roulette Tournament hosted by KOXE.”
