Annual Easter egg hunt scheduled for April 12

The Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation Department will hold its 14th annual Easter Egg Hunt at Capaha Park April 12.

The day's events will take place at 10 a.m. for 1- to 2-year-olds and 3- to 4-year-olds, and 11 a.m. for 5- to 8-year-olds. Groups will have 30 to 45 minutes to hunt.

Opportunities for pictures with the Easter bunny are available after each part of the hunt.

Prizes will be awarded for special eggs found during the hunt. This is a free event, and all are invited.

Children must provide their own baskets, and parents should escort smaller children if needed.

All prizes will be given out immediately following the hunt.
