Erin’s Easter Egg Hunt set for April 1

Erin’s Easter Egg Hunt, which remembers the memory of Erin Farkas Dewyea and many kindnesses to local students during her all too brief teaching years here, will again be celebrated on Saturday, April 1.

Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Tupper Lake, of which Erin was a member, and the Adirondack Regional Federal Credit Union, the hunt for tasty eggs starts at noon sharp on the fields of L.P. Quinn Elementary School.

Infants to pre-k students will hunt on half of the Rotary Club’s football field and the kindergarten to second graders will comb the other half for goodies in the colorful shells. Older egg hunters in grades three to five will hunt the grounds in front of the elementary school.

Hunters and their parents are advised it’s a rain or shine event, so come prepared with boots, rain coats, and such to handle anything Mother Nature throws at us the first day of April.

Hunters are also encouraged to bring with them their collection baskets. There will be an opportunity to have a photo taken with the Easter Bunny.

The event is free for all children up to the fifth grade.
