Hundreds Dash For Easter Eggs at Huntington's 'Spring Eggstravaganza'

Hundreds of children ages 3-8 had a blast searching for treat-filled eggs around Heckscher Park during a “Spring Eggstravaganza” last week.

Besides having an “egg-cellent” time during the egg hunt, kids were able to get creative with spring crafts and face painting. They also had the chance to take photos with the Easter Bunny, who made a special appearance.

Those who attended came with a canned good item that would be donated to a local food pantry. Hundreds of canned goods were then brought over to the outreach center at St. Hugh of Lincoln’s food pantry in Huntington Station.

The event, presented by Town of Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson, was held Thursday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“I hope that everyone who came to Heckscher Park for the ‘Spring Eggstravaganza’ had a great time,” Cuthbertson said in a press release. “I want to thank Ahern’s Landscape and Garden and Station Sports Family Fun Center for helping to sponsor this event.”

Upcoming family-friendly, free events include the Earth Day Expo in April and the Annual Tulip Festival in May. Be sure to check the Town of Huntington website for more information.
