Jaycees To Host Easter Egg Hunt At Palatine Towne Square

Local children up to nine years old can partake in an Easter egg hunt at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, April 16 in the Town Square on Palatine Road in downtown.

“We will be hiding 3,500 Easter Eggs filled with candy and prizes plus some eggs filled with prizes from downtown merchants in the grassy area of Towne Square,” Jackie Butler, chairman of the project, stated in a press release.

“We will divide all the kids who wish to participate into groups by age. The youngest group will be for kids up to two years old, the next group will be three to five years olds, then six as well as seven year olds and finally for eight and nine year olds.  Each age group will be sent out separately to collect eggs,” Butler stated.

The Easter Bunny also will attend the event.

"Children will be able to have their pictures taken by their parents with the Easter Bunny for a small donation,” Butler said.

Every year the Palatine Jaycees conducts numerous programs to serve the community and raise funds to operate. Among the projects are the Fourth of July Festival and the Christmas tree sale.

The Palatine chapter holds its monthly general meeting on the third Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the American Legion Hall on Palatine Road. For more information about the Jaycees call 847-604-0288 or email info@palatinejaycess.org. Their web site is www.palatinejaycees.org.
