FL Kids at Freedom Life Church will host its annual Easter Eggstravaganza at Muddy Run Park, 172 Bethesda Church Road West, Holtwood, on Saturday, April 19.

During the hunt portion of the day, children will be able to search for more than 20,000 plastic eggs that will be placed in the park by church volunteers. "Eggs will be placed in a big field and scattered. Golden eggs will have prizes," noted Lancaster County FL Kids leader Ashley Kauffman.

Activities will begin at 10 a.m. with train rides, a petting zoo and inflatables. "Stoltzfus Homestead will be bringing goats, ducks and rabbits. There will be moon bounces. Two are obstacle courses, and two are bounce houses," explained Kauffman. "There will also be face painting, temporary water tattoos and some balloon (activities)."

Members of the Rawlinsville Fire Company are expected to bring their trucks for children to enjoy as well. Concessions will offer free snacks, including, popcorn, chips, water and Philly soft pretzels.

After 11 a.m., families will be directed to the large field area at the top of the hill for the Easter egg scramble. Designated spaces will be marked and organized by age groups.

At approximately 11:25 a.m., children will be given the signal to fill their baskets, buckets and bags with plastic eggs. Most of the eggs will be filled with candy, while a few of them will contain a paper that reveals a prize winner. There will be 10 prizes for elementary-age children and 10 prizes for preschool-age children.

The event is open to the public, and there is no cost for food or activities. "It's meant to be a blessing (to the community)," said Kauffman, adding, "The Easter Eggstravaganza is one of my favorite days of the year. To see the smiles on the kids' faces because they get to be outside with their family and friends and just getting to act like kids is the best. We get to be part of making family memories."
