Imagine a private egg hunt! The Easter Bunny, hosted by CRPR Staff, will visit your home in the evening hours and hide your eggs; you'll be provided a date and estimated time and you'll be able to provide guidance on hiding locations! This event is open to those who live in the State College Borough, and the Townships of College, Ferguson, Harris, and Patton. The deadline to secure your "egging" is March 22. The "egging" will take place on one of two nights: March 28 or 29, between 8-10 PM.
We are also offering the option of donating an "egging" to a family in need. We'll work with local resources to identify families who would love to host one of these events for their children but may not be able to afford the registration fee. When you register, you can provide this info in our Q & A section.
