The Flashlight Egg Hunt will begin at 8:30 p.m. for older kids. This one is done in the dark and was created exclusively for older kids. Bring your flashlight and a basket to haul off your loot. Lots of eggs, candy and prizes for everyone. Find the golden egg during the eggstravaganza for an “eggstra” special surprise. No parents on the field. No registration required. Suggested fee: $5 donation per family.
