Hop on down to Mawson Park this Saturday, April 8, and join in the fun of a good, old-fashioned Easter egg hunt.
Campbelltown City Council will host the hunt, from 10am to 1pm, and children and their families will be invited to follow a trail around the park to enjoy the free activities, including games, arts and craft, story time and a visit from the Easter Bunny.
Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr George Brticevic, encouraged families to come along, saying it was a great way for children to get outside, and get active, while having a lot of fun.
“In addition to the Easter Egg hunt, there will be an egg and spoon race, sack races, arts and craft, and storytime.
“Families will also have the opportunity to meet, and be photographed with the Easter Bunny, so be sure to bring your camera,” he said.
Easter egg hunt places are limited, so please arrive early to ensure your chance to participate.
