Ashland Rotary will kick off its annual Easter Egg Hunt event at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 31, in Lithia Park by the pickleball courts.

The tradition is more than 60 years old and typically draws hundreds of children, who scour the park for thousands of chocolate and hard-boiled eggs. There are also a dozen “golden” eggs that can be traded in for special prizes.

Children are separated into five age-appropriate areas to ensure that younger egg hunters are not competing with older egg hunters. There are areas for ages 2 and younger, 3- and 4-year-olds, 5- and 6-year-olds, 7- and 8-year-olds, and 9- and 10-year-olds. Parents can accompany children 2 and under in their hunt area.

The hunt starts promptly at 1 p.m., so families are encouraged to arrive early, as parking is limited.
