Colorful eggs, hard-boiled or chocolate, will be scattered over yards, church property and parkland this week in observation of Easter this Sunday.
The 23rd annual Children’s Easter Egg Hunt at South Kitsap Regional Park, tops off the “eggstravaganza” Saturday.
Organizers said more than 300 families share in the fun of finding plastic candy-filled eggs and meeting the Easter Bunny.
This year, the first 400 children signed in will receive a free stuffed animal or toy.
Registration will take place at the Jackson Street entrance beginning at 11 a.m. The hunt on the Jackson entrance playfield begins at “egg-zactly” 12 p.m., according to sponsors.
The egg hunt is open to children 10 and under with a responsible adult.
It is sponsored by Fathoms O’ Fun Festival Association, Port Orchard Soroptimists, Port Orchard Eagles, Kiwanis of South Kitsap, Port Orchard Rotary, and other organizations.
Kitsap Live Steamers will be providing rides from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
