Richfield celebrates large Easter Egg Hunt; board outlines changes to make 2027 event more family friendly
Summary
Organizers reported 2,000 eggs were hidden at the March 28 Easter Egg Hunt, eight tickets for special prizes were found and the hunt lasted about 45 seconds; the board discussed staggered starts by age group, crafts, photos with the Easter Bunny and volunteer egg refill/collection plans.
The director reported that Richfield's March 28 Easter Egg Hunt hid 2,000 eggs and included eight special prize tickets; "The hunt started at exactly 11 am and was over in 45 seconds," the director said. The board called the turnout a success but identified areas for improvement to make the event more family friendly in 2027.
Recommendations included separating age groups more clearly (for example distinct starts for 3–5 and 6–7 year olds), adding craft stations and photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny, and organizing volunteer groups (high‑school students, senior center participants, library home‑school groups) to help fill and collect eggs so they can be reused. The board also discussed using Johnson Barn and Richfield Woods as potential venues and staggering start times to reduce crowding.
