Hespeler Village Easter Egg Hunt – Saturday, April 20, 2019
Kids are welcome to visit booths located at the Hespeler Village Square (behind the library and fire hall), where they will pick up their maps and loot bags to take with them as they journey through each participating business downtown to collect their Easter goodies. Once their Easter Egg Hunt is complete and their map has been stamped, the kiddies will venture on back to the main square to enter the draw for the grand prize and enjoy some more fun activities.
Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs – Friday, April 19, 2019
Each year, thousands of plastic eggs are filled with dog treats and hidden over a defined area of a local park. Each egg contains a dog treat and a sticker, representing a chance to win one of the hundreds of great prizes.
Registrants receive two egg cartons, giving them the opportunity to collect up to 24 eggs.
