2026 Family Egg Hunt
Prattsville Community Center
Hey everyone!
I’m so excited to invite you all to our Family Easter Egg Hunt this year!
I will be having it at the Prattsville Community Center!
We’re planning for it to be an afternoon egg hunt, and we might even do some glow-in-the-dark egg fun.
We’re thinking things like hot dogs, snacks, and drinks, so if you’d like to contribute or bring something, just let me know!
Right now I have 150 eggs thanks to Mom (thank you!!) but since we have a bunch of little ones running around, I’ll probably grab some more so everyone gets plenty of eggs. If anyone wants to pitch in eggs or candy, that would be awesome too!
I’m really excited to get everyone together and make some fun memories with the kids and family. Please RSVP and let me know if you can make it, and also tell me if the time works or if we should push it back a little.
Love you all and can’t wait to see everyone!
