Enjoy breakfast with the Bunny

The South Elgin Parks and Recreation Department will host its annual Spring Holiday Egg Hunt at noon March 22.

The holiday wouldn't be the same without an old-fashioned egg hunt. Bring your baskets from home to fill up with eggs. The annual egg hunt will be held at Kenyon Woods, off Raymond Street in South Elgin. Parking is available at South Elgin High School.

The event is geared toward children from infant to 12 years old. There will be designated hunting areas for different age groups. Bring your cameras for pictures with the Bunny who will arrive at 10:30 a.m. Don't miss this free family event. They will be accepting donations to the local food pantry so bring your non-perishable food items to the event for a chance to win a spring gift basket.

Also, enjoy a special Breakfast with the Bunny at 9 a.m. March 22. The Bunny will arrive in the North Activity Room at the municipal annex, 1 W. State St. Each child will visit and take pictures with the Bunny. Join them for breakfast including scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, coffee and juice. Each participant must pre-purchase a ticket from village hall, 10 N. Water St. Registration per family of four is $20 for residents and $25 for non-residents.
