Easter egg hunts scheduled countywide this weekend.
It’s that time of year again.
Time for children to dust off their Easter baskets and go on an egg hunt.
While some families host their own egg hunts, local organizations and churches are hosting Easter egg hunts of their own.
Here’s a list of several Kitsap County Easter egg hunts scheduled for this weekend:
Silverdale
• Olympic Evangelical Free Church will host an Easter egg hunt for children 12 and younger at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Carolyn Chapin, with Olympic Evangelical Free Church, said the church is partnering with Cornerstone Alliance Church and Keyport Bible Church to put on the Easter egg hunt.
“If it goes well we’d like to continue to do it every year,” she said.
Chapin said they have at least 500 plastic candy-filled eggs ready to be hunted down by children.
“We’re hoping to have 100 kids or so,” Chapin said.
Crafts and storytelling also will be available at the Easter egg hunt.
