Following the overwhelming success of last year’s event, Wilderness Road State Park will host the second annual Easter at Karlan celebration. Colorful eggs will decorate the Karlan Mansion lawn on Saturday, April 3, with children ages 1-10 invited to join the Easter Bunny for a candy-filled Easter egg hunt that highlights an afternoon filled with fun, games and prizes. The event begins at 1:00 pm, with light refreshments to be offered following the egg hunt.The picturesque Karlan Mansion will provide a spectacular backdrop for the candy-filled egg hunt which begins promptly at 1:15 pm with four age groups providing fair competition for prizes that include chocolate bunnies and Easter baskets loaded with candy. Age groups include: ages 1-2, ages 3-5, ages 6-8 and ages 9-10. The boy and girl from each group finding the special marked egg will receive a chocolate bunny as a prize while the one individual from each group that finds the “lucky” egg will receive the goodie-filled basket. Prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the egg hunt.
“Participants are advised to stick around at the conclusion of the event for the awards ceremony,” stated park concession manager Mike Brindle. “Following the awards, we will have races, games, and more. There will also be a meet and greet with the Easter Bunny, who will be more than happy to pose for photos.”
Games and activities scheduled include: egg toss, egg race, bunny hop race, and crafts with a visit by the Easter Bunny concluding the event.
