It might be cold, but spring is just around the corner and so is the annual St. Johns Easter Egg Hunt. The St. Johns Lions Club has taken over hosting this annual event for the community. It will take place on Saturday, April 16, 2022.
The annual City of St. Johns Easter Egg Hunt, now sponsored by the St. Johns Lions Club with support from many local contributors, will be held on Saturday, April 16, 2022 – rain or shine – at the St. Johns City Park.
Due to Covid, there will be no face painting this year; however kids will be able to request their favorite balloon animal and the Easter Bunny will be at the event for photo opportunities. These activities will take place in the pavilion beginning at 12:30 p.m.
The City Police siren will sound at 1:00 p.m. to start the “organized mayhem.” The area around the pavilion will be sectioned off in the following age groups: 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10. Kids under the age of 3 may pick up an egg in the pavilion. Only kids are allowed in the Egg Patch. No Adults Please.
There is one egg in each age group that has a special ticket in it to win an Easter Basket filled with goodies, so open your eggs while you are there to claim your prize. The baskets will be available for pick-up in the pavilion.
Please recycle your eggs at the event. There will be recycling containers around the Egg Patch and near the pavilion. A recycling container also will be available at the Lions Recycling Center located at 605 N. Swegles Street in St. Johns.
