The Easter Bunny hopped over to the Long Beach Recreation Center on April 13, bringing Easter eggs and goodies for community members to find.
The annual event was pushed back a day due to rain, but that didn’t hinder the holiday spirit. Tons of children and their families packed the turf fields to look for the most colorful eggs they could find.
The recreation center fields were littered with colorful eggs, and happy faces raced across them to find some sweet treats. The annual hunt was for children age 7 and younger, and also included a special needs category.
There were numerous “hunts,” starting at 9 a.m. and running until noon. Each hunt lasted approximately 30 minutes. Each group ran to try to find the most eggs, and whoever found the most in each group won a prize.
“I’d like to thank our parks and recreation team,” Acting City Manager Phil Ragona said at the April 15 council meeting. “The Easter Bunny was out there doing his or her thing, and it was wonderful.”
