(Atlantic, Iowa) – The downtown City Park in Atlantic will serve as the site next week for an Easter Egg Hunt. The event takes place April 16th, beginning at 10:30-a.m., and is sponsored by Atlantic Rising. Group President Lucas Mosier the event was very successful in the past, but has not taken place since COVID became a part of our lives.

The eggs are hidden in sections designed to appeal to different age groups of children.

Some of the prize sponsors include the Kiwanis, which donated several bike helmets, and Atlantic Bottling, which is donating free beverages. Also, Hy-Vee is donating free hot dogs. Individuals, other businesses and organizations in town are also helping to make the event a big success.

The eggs themselves are filled by volunteers, with a couple of pieces of candy and the chance to win bigger prizes. Children ages 2-to 10 are welcome to participate in the Easter Egg Hunt, which runs about five-minutes.

There are more than enough eggs for each child to grab. Parents are welcome to take pictures of their kids, and the Easter Bunny.
