Newtown Egg Hunt Postponed Due To Rainy Saturday Forecast

NEWTOWN, PA — This just in. The Newtown Egg Hunt scheduled for Saturday, April 1 has been postponed due to a forecast of rain on Saturday.

But don't put those baskets away just yet.

The annual Newtown Easter Egg Hunt is now scheduled to hit the ground running on Saturday, April 8 behind the Goodnoe Elementary School.

Kids of all ages are invited to meet and greet the Easter Bunny beginning at 8:30 a.m. Age group hunts will follow at 9:15 a.m. sharp.

Between 8,000 and 10,000 eggs will be scattered across the grass and filled with treats. The eggs are being donated by the First National Bank of Newtown with Sam’s Club providing the treats inside.

According to hunt organizer Paul Salvatore, a few lucky hunters will find a golden egg hidden inside their colorful plastic eggs. That will entitle them to a special age-appropriate prize.

After their kids and grandchildren hit the field in a series of age-group hunts, adults and grandparents will get their chance in what typically ends up being a frenzied scramble across the grass.

The hunt, which is organized by the Newtown Rotary Club, is free and open to the public.

Photos With the Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny is still scheduled to hop into town for pictures on Sunday, April 2. Opus Elite Real Estate will be offering free photos with the Easter Bunny from 12 to 2 p.m. at 16 South State Street, Newtown.
