This Spring, hop on over
to the Troy Historic Village for some ‘egg’stra special fun. The Village is
inviting families to their annual Village Egg Hunt Friday March 24th from
4:00-8:00pm and Saturday March 25th from 10:00am-3:00pm.
“Families return to our
Community Events year after year because they find it’s a full experience for
kids” says Village Executive Director Jen Peters. “This isn’t a ‘dash and done’
egg hunt; you’ll spend about an hour with us as you travel around the Village
finding eggs, crafts, treats, and games. We really work on making it the right
fit for kids aged 2-6 but encourage all ages to join us!”
Children are invited to
play indoor and outdoor games and make a make a “bunny door” craft. They will
get to collect eggs and trade them in at the bunny trading post for treats.
Kids can test their skills with the ever popular Hop-stacle course and Carrot
Toss. Activites are spread throughout the Village to create an egg’celent
experience for the entire family!
“This will be our third
year hosting an egg hunt” says Youth Programs Director Alex Konieczny, “Events
like these are really important to the Village because it gives us a chance to
engage with families in our community and do something fun for them. We love to
see the kids who have been here on field trips come back with their familes and
give them the tour during programs like Egg Hunt and Trick-or-Treat”
Village Egg Hunt will be held rain or shine. The
event features free onsite parking at the Village, as well as free overflow
parking at Brookfield Academy just a short walk down the street. For discounted
