Naperville Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt
With the speed of an energized bunny, youngsters will line up at age-appropriate fields in Frontier Park to run for colored eggs during the annual Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt that begins at 9AM on Sat., April 19. The free of charge family-friendly tradition attracts multitudes of eager beavers for the fun-filled happening. Bring a basket or bag to hold the stash of prize-filled plastic eggs. Don’t be a second late. Egg collecting is a fast art. In fact, organizers recommend arriving about 8:30AM. Still, be mindful that the Easter Rabbit will be present for photos in case you miss the hunt. Bring a camera. Donations and nonperishables are welcome.
Frontier Park is located off 95th Street at 3380 Cedar Glade Rd.
