Event will continue a tradition more than 60 years old

Ashland Rotary will host its annual Easter egg hunt event at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 9, at Lithia Park near the pickleball courts, according to a news release.

The event, a tradition that goes back more than 60 years, will start promptly at 1 p.m., the release said, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early. Parking is limited, “and those who arrive even a minute or two after 1 o’clock are likely to find that all of the candy is gone,” the release said.

Participating children will be separated into five age-appropriate areas, with spots for children 2 years old and younger, children 3 and 4 years old, 5 and 6 years old, 7 and 8 years old, and 9 and 10 years old.

Thousands of chocolate and hard boiled eggs will be available to find, along with a dozen special golden eggs that can be traded in for prizes.
