Yonkers Stew Leonard's To Again Host Annual Easter Egg Hunt

YONKERS, NY — Stew Leonard's invites children ages 8 and under to take part in the farm fresh food store's annual Easter Egg Hunt "Egg-Stravaganza."

The family fun day day will take place this year on April 5 from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

According to the company, tickets are free and will be available through the Stew Leonard's online events calendar starting Wednesday. Customers are also able to go to Eventbrite.com and search "Stew Leonard's" for tickets.

Children will be given a bag to collect Easter eggs filled with candy and other prizes from costumed characters throughout the store. Five lucky children will also open an egg to reveal a special ticket redeemable at customer service for a grand prize: a WOW Easter Basket bursting with treats.

Parents take note: Some of the candy included in the eggs and baskets may contain peanuts.

After the "egg-stravaganza" is complete, parents are invited to take photos of their children with the Easter Bunny.

The event is free to the community. However, it is ticketed due to the popularity of past egg hunts, according to the company. Parents and caregivers do not need tickets to bring children.

Stew Leonard's is located at 1 Stew Leonard Dr. in Yonkers. The store also has locations in Connecticut (Danbury, Norwalk, Newington), New Jersey (Paramus) and Long Island (Farmingdale, East Meadow). All locations will also host egg hunts on April 5.
