With Easter approaching around the corner, the Ruston Sports Complex is hosting its second ‘Egg’stravaganza.
The festivities will be held on the Green Clinic Soccer Fields from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, March 30. Entry is free for families with children 12 and under.
The Easter Egg Hunt will begin at 6 p.m. with 20,000 eggs hidden across the fields. Each egg contains a toy, sticker or candy. Families are required to bring their own Easter basket to collect the eggs.
Along with the egg hunt, Ruston Photography will offer free pictures with the Easter Bunny. Ice cream sandwiches will be available for children along with face painting by Sigma Kappa from Louisiana Tech University.
Two bounce houses will be running for children to play in. The Ruston Sports Complex asks that families park across the street as the parking lot is holding the bounce houses.
Amanda Lonadier, RPAR upervisor, worked to coordinate the activities.
“Last year, our egg hunt was spread across eight fields,” Lonadier said, “But this year we expect a larger turnout.”
This year, the egg hunt will take place across a couple of soccer fields, but there will be more eggs for kids to find.
All children 12 and under must register for a free ticket by clicking HERE. The event is limited to the first 1,000 children who are registered. Parents and siblings over 12 years old do not need to register for a ticket.
