Fort Thomas plans multi-session Easter egg hunt with adaptive option and volunteer push
Summary
Organizers laid out an April 4 Easter egg hunt schedule with an April 2 egg-stuffing party and a library-run adaptive egg hunt from 10 a.m.–noon; volunteers and leadership for shifts are being requested and one volunteer group brought roughly 2,000 eggs for stuffing.
Organizers of Fort Thomas’s spring events detailed logistical plans for an April 4 Easter egg hunt and asked for volunteers to staff multiple shifts.
At the meeting, an organizer said the Thursday, April 2 crafting and egg-stuffing party will run 4–6 p.m. at the armory to prepare for the Saturday hunt. “We’re going to have people stuffing eggs for the hunt on Saturday,” Savannah said, describing the prep session and crafts planned to draw families.
Morgan said the library will host an adapted egg hunt in the armory for families with mobility or sensory needs, running from 10 a.m. to noon so participants can finish before the citywide schedule. “Ours is going to be from 10 to noon,” Morgan said, adding staff would adapt the activity as needed and that participants would still pick up eggs and small prizes.
The main egg-hunt timeline will begin with vendors and food at 11 a.m., the first egg hunt at noon and subsequent hunts every 15 minutes (12:15, 12:30, 12:45), with a “race the rabbit” activity at 1 p.m. Organizers identified morning and noon volunteer coverage shifts and asked members to sign up: morning staffing from 9 a.m.–noon includes Linda, Nancy and Tracy; noon-to-finish volunteers listed include Nancy, Annie and Heidi.
Volunteers already committed include a National Honor Society group that brought about 2,000 eggs for stuffing. Katherine is organizing a sign-up list for up to 50 children at the craft session during the week leading up to the event.
Organizers asked council members and community groups to help distribute publicity to middle-school students and parent groups; they noted the school emailed the middle school and they had shared information via group messaging to recruit student volunteers. The meeting closed the segment by encouraging members to indicate availability and leadership roles so volunteers have direction during the multiple shifts.
The organizers said the event will feature several local vendors and community partners, including Holy Donuts, Traveling Tom’s Coffee, Better Blends and Girl Scouts selling cookies. No admission or budgetary figures were discussed at the meeting.
The organizers plan to share more detailed volunteer assignments and a reminder the week before the event.
