University
plans massive egg hunt
On your
marks, get set — the fifth annual UM Easter Eggstravaganza is
Saturday, March 26, on the Oval.
The year’s Easter egg hunt will be bigger and better than ever
with 12,000 prize eggs and 25,000 pieces of candy for local youngsters.
Sponsors are still needed for the event, which is the area’s
biggest Easter egg hunt. Last year’s Eggstravaganza drew more
than a thousand treat seekers.
The hunt will take place in the heart of campus, where children will
scour nearly four acres of lawn for age-appropriate candy and prizes.
Free and open to the public, the hunt features separate sections for
the following age groups: 0-3, 4-5, 6-7 and 8-9 years old.
Parents are allowed to help the infants and toddlers collect their
goodies, while UM and local high school students will help hand out
prizes.
Kids who find maroon, silver and gold eggs will be rewarded with top
prizes. In honor of the Eggstravaganza’s fifth anniversary,
a special “grand gold” egg will be up for grabs. Prizes
include bicycles and shopping sprees at local businesses.
The Eggstravaganza is sponsored by UM’s President’s Office
and University Relations, 102.5 Mountain FM, Southgate Mall The Bookstore
at UM, A Carousel for Missoula and KECI-TV.
For information about sponsoring the event, contact Rita Munzenrider,
University Relations director, at (406) 243-4824 or rita.munzenrider@mso.umt.edu.
