Egg hunt to be held on March 23
The Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks Department will hold its annual Easter egg hunt on March 23 at A. K. Bissell Park.
The free event will be a traditional egg hunt held at A.K. Bissell Park.
Parking will be available at both the east and west Civic Center parking lots. In the event of severe weather, eggs and prizes will be handed out via drive-through at the Oak Ridge Recreation Center.
The event is limited to children age 4 through 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 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 department at 865-425-3450 to make arrangements.
Adult volunteers (age 16 and up) are needed to hide eggs, supervise the hunt areas, and assist participants. All volunteers should be prepared to work from 9 a.m. to noon on the day of the event, and should dress according to the weather.
The first 50 volunteers to sign up will receive an event T-shirt.
A pizza lunch will be served to all volunteers immediately following the event
