The Kiwanis Club of Hays is eagerly anticipating its 50th annual Easter Egg Hunt, which will be held on March 30 at 9 a.m.

This year’s hunt will again be held on the Fort Hays State University campus on the quad, and attendees are encouraged to meet in front of the Memorial Union.

To honor the 50th celebration, the club is planning an extra special event. Approximately 8,000 eggs will be stuffed and placed across the campus this year.

Age groups for the hunt will again be provided this year for children ages birth to ten. Families are asked to meet at the quad, and Kiwanis Club of Hays members will lead attendees to the appropriate age bracket locations for their own special hunt.

The Easter Bunny will also be on site to take pictures with guests.

Kiwanis Club of Hays wishes to thank its community partners for their financial contributions to this year’s Easter egg hunt:

· Hays McDonald’s locations for providing ice cream coupons

· Walmart SuperCenter for contributing a $100 gift certificate to purchase candy

· Bank of Hays, Commerce Bank, Emprise Bank, First Kansas Bank, Golden Belt Bank, Golden Plains Credit Union, and Sunflower Bank for their donations of quarters

Any families wishing to turn their eggs back into the club to be used for the 51st annual Easter Egg Hunt will be able to bring their eggs to the following Easter egg drop box locations until April 15th: Bank of Hays, Emprise Bank, First Kansas Bank, Golden Belt Bank, Golden Plains Credit Union, and Sunflower Bank.
