SANTA MARIA, Calif. – Cities up and down the coast are preparing for fun and festive Easter activities this weekend.
The city of Santa Maria is hoping people come out to its “Egg-Splore Our Parks!” event.
The Santa Maria Recreation & Parks Department has organized a community wide egg hunt contest.
“The prizes are small. They’re non cash prizes with some of our kind of event swag as well as some special specialty gift cards, too. So for an extra surprise bonus,” says Jeanette Blanco, with Santa Maria Recreation and Parks.
At six local parks, there is a two-dimensional egg sign where people can take fun photos for non-cash prizes.
“We’re excited to bring this event back. Every year, a lot of families come out and enjoy the day. It’s a chance to picnic and and kind of just do their own Easter egg hunt and post those pictures on social media,” says Blanco.
There is also a hidden golden egg at one of the six parks, which contains a special, undisclosed bonus prize.
“We definitely encourage families to get creative with their photos. The sillier the better. We love that. We just want families to get out there and have fun,” says Blanco.
The event runs between now and Sunday evening.
The contest closes Sunday evening and winners will be announced on April 23rd.
