Hop on over to the Annual Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt. It will be held at Kiwanis Park, 700 block of N. Genesee Street, Morrison, IL, on Saturday, April 15, 2017.
A firetruck will deliver the Easter Bunny to the park between 9:45 and 10:00 a.m. There will be a brief opportunity to capture a photo, before egg-gathering fun begins.
Bring a container and a means to take photos.
Age groups are
- 2 and under

Kiwanis purchases candy, stuffed animals, and prizes for the children. Envelopes containing gift cards are among the prizes for older children. Parents should be sure to read any paper notes inside the eggs before departing. The Easter Bunny will award the larger prizes after each heat.
Morrison sponsors who donate prizes are DQ Grill & Chill and Hardee’s. Kathy Fredericks supplies a non-sugar candy alternative. Crossroads Community Church is a new sponsor, helping pack the eggs and at the egg hunt.
Morrison Fire Department provides the fire engine and driver to bring the Easter Bunny to Kiwanis Park.
The Easter Bunny and escort are Morrison High School Key Clubbers.

These are recycled, so please empty the egg contents into your child’s container and deposit the eggs at the picnic shelter for another year of fun.
