Free Easter Egg Hunt at the Rock Ranch- March 23

THE ROCK, Ga. (February 25, 2013) – A free, outdoor egg hunt spread across 1,330 acres, appropriately called The Easter Eggstravaganza, will occur Saturday, Mar. 23 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Rock Ranch.

Staff and volunteers will spend nearly four hours hiding by hand more than 30,000 prize eggs for the event.  Age-specific egg hunts across the ranch will include age groups of toddlers under 2 years old, ages 2 and 3, ages 4 to 6, ages 7 to 12 and ages 13 and older. There is no charge for the Easter Egg Hunt, and participants should bring their own baskets.  Baskets and other items will also be sold in the gift shop.

Egg hunts begin at 12:45 p.m., but make sure to come early to join in the holiday festivities. The fun begins at 11 a.m. with story time with Harvey Wilson, a local author of Christian children’s books and longtime friend of The Rock Ranch, along with photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny. Guests are encouraged to bring their own cameras. The Easter Story will be presented by a local pastor at 12:30 p.m. 

The Rock Ranch “Cow-A-Bunga” Zip Lines will be open for guests who are not too chicken.  These amazing attractions transport guests, at a treetop level, across the corn field and over ponds at speeds of up to 35 mph.  A single guest may ride the fast lines for $7 or the long lines for $12. Chick-fil-A sandwiches, hot dog lunches, drinks, snow cones and other concessions will be available for purchase.

Also, make sure to check out The Rock Ranch U-Pick area and produce stand.  The produce stand offers honey from the hives on the ranch; homegrown, steroid-free, hormone-free beef; fruit and vegetables.  Saturday, Mar. 23 will mark the grand re-opening of The Rock Ranch produce stand and, if the mild winter continues, families may pick early strawberries and enjoy fresh strawberry ice cream. Guests may choose to pick their own or purchase pre-picked, homegrown strawberries before or after the egg hunt (while supplies last).
