Easter EGGstravaganza scheduled for April 11

The Easter Bunny will come hopping down the bunny trail, Porter Road, to make a stop at Pacana Park on Saturday, April 11.

The bunny will be a special guest at the fourth annual Easter EGGstravaganza hosted by Community of Hope Church.

The event begins at 10 a.m. and lasts until noon. Egg hunts will take place every 15-20 minutes for children from one year of age through fifth grade. In addition to the egg hunts, there will be games to play, bounce houses to jump in and a petting zoo. Of course, the Easter Bunny will be available for photos with the kids.

All of this is “absolutely free,” according to Community of Hope’s pastor, Rusty Akers, who added that all the fun is “open to the entire community of Maricopa.” Last year’s EGGstravagana drew about 1,000 children, and a good turnout is also anticipated for this year’s event.

Donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted and are encouraged. The good will go to the F.O.R. Maricopa food bank.
