Commission approves town-run Easter egg hunt at the manor house
Summary
Corporal Conklin presented a proposal for an Easter egg hunt with age-group sections and reusable eggs; the commission approved the event and asked staff and the organizer to finalize date/time, promotions, and logistics.
Corporal Conklin (speaker 9) presented a proposal to host a town-run Easter egg hunt at the manor house, suggesting age-specific egg areas and reusable eggs that participants could turn in for candy to reduce the need for millions of single-use eggs.
Commissioners discussed timing (the week before Easter to match Frederick County Public Schools spring break), suggested midweek or early-evening slots to accommodate working parents, and asked the organizer to prepare a flyer for town Facebook and library distribution. Town staff warned of a planned road closure on Glade Road at the railroad tracks during the week and recommended coordination on timing and notifications.
The commission moved and voted to approve the event; Corporal Conklin agreed to nail down the exact date and time the next day and work with staff on refreshments, reusable eggs, and publicity. Commissioners suggested recruiting the fire company and volunteers to help execute the event.
The commission’s approval was a program-level green light; staff will handle logistics and communication with the organizer about final timing and needed support.
