Sadly, we have to make the unfortunate decision to cancel the upcoming Egg Hunt that was scheduled for this weekend 3/24. The cancellation is due to a low turnout which we suspect is from it landing on a holiday weekend, and with individuals having Special Olympics swimming. Next year, we will make sure to plan it further in advance and pick a weekend that more people would be able to attend.
Thank you for understanding, and we hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
DATE: March 27, 2024
TIME: 10:00am – 2:00pm
