HUNTINGTON â Whether they were sipping tea with the Easter Bunny or searching a community park for brightly colored eggs, children of all ages have had multiple opportunities in recent weeks to celebrate the holiday.
That included egg hunts at various locations in the area, some with special themes, as well as the Egg-Citing Spring Fling at Pullman Square in downtown Huntington. Developmental Therapy Center and Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District even presented an âEggciting Egg Hunt,â an adaptive egg hunt for children with special needs.
Local shopping centers hosted events as well, with springtime to-go crafts being distributed at Ashland Town Center and an Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt taking place at the Huntington Mall. The Easter Bunny visited both locations for photos with children throughout the past month.
HUNTINGTON â Children throughout Huntington will wake up Sunday morning to find hidden eggs, bunny prints and even a letter from the Easter Bunny in their yard.
The surprises were coordinated by the Developmental Therapy Center (DTC), a nonprofit organization in Huntington that provides therapy to Tri-State children and adults who have special needs.
DTC planned the âEgg My Lawnâ fundraiser for the first time this year, and with help from other local agencies, eggs were hidden and letters from the Easter Bunny were delivered before Easter morning, giving children the opportunity to wake up to a lawn full of surprises.
