EGG HUNTS
Bunny Patch at Thomasson: Thomasson Family Farm’s annual Bunny Patch continues from March 27 – 30, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be an on-going egg hunt (so kids can search for egg at their own pace), tractor rides, the mega slide, and more. Online tickets for the weekday are $1, or the weekend for $12; tickets bought at the door are $2 more expensive.
Egg hunt with Parks and Rec: Enumclaw Parks and Rec and Babbit Insurance Group is hosting an egg hun at Boise Creek Park on March 30 from 9 to 10:30 a.m.; the hunt starts promptly at 10 a.m. There will also be baby animals supplied by Green Apple Alpacas, local youth groups representing their clubs, photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny, story time with The Dusty Shelf book store, and food (and coffee!) trucks. For more information, go to the Enumclaw Parks and Rec Facebook page.
Hound Hunt: They’re not just for kids anymore — the city of Buckley is hosting an egg hunt for your pup at March 30, 9 a.m., on the Buckley Youth Center lawn. There will be treats, golden egg prizes, a photo op with the Easter Buckley, and a costume contest at 9:30 a.m.
Buckley’s Amazing Egg Race: The city of Buckley is hosting an egg hunt for ages 10 to 18 across the city on March 30, following the Hound Hunt, at noon.
