Families in South Huron are invited to take part in a long-running Easter tradition this weekend.
The Exeter Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority property. The event is organized by the South Huron Optimist Club and is open to children 12 and under.
Rachel Skillen, who is leading the event, says the Easter Egg Hunt has been a popular tradition in the community for many years.
She says the event has become a meaningful family tradition.
On the day of the event, families will gather just before 1 p.m. to check in. Children will then head out along the trails to search for Easter eggs hidden in trees and natural areas.
Pre-registration is required, and space is limited to 300 children. Registration costs $2 per child and must be done in advance at the Exeter Library. Skillen say spots are filling up quickly and encourage families to sign up soon to avoid missing out.
The event will take place rain or shine, so families are asked to dress for the weather and bring a basket or bag for collecting eggs.
