McKendree Village Invites Parents, Grandparents, Children & Grandchildren to Our Community Easter Egg Hunt, Saturday, March 31st at 10:00 a.m.

Hermitage, TN –Parents and Grandparents are invited to bring their children and grandchildren to the 4th annual Community Easter Egg Hunt at McKendree Village on Saturday, March 31, beginning at 10:00 a.m. The event will feature an egg hunt organized by age groups (1-3 yrs; 4-6 yrs; 7-9 yrs; 10-12 yrs), prizes, games and an appearance by the Easter Bunny. The egg hunt will be held in the Woodlands Park at McKendree Village, 4347 Lebanon Road. Signs will point the way to the event and to parking.

“We always look forward to hosting this community event, which is fun for both children and adults”, said McKendree Village spokeswoman Diane Miles. “Based on the success of last year’s event, we plan to hide more than 3,000 eggs for the children to hunt. We remind everyone to bring their baskets to collect their eggs.”

McKendree Village residents, volunteers and staff help with the preparations for the egg hunt. This year, Kohl’s Department Stores, who sponsors events related to children, has made a generous donation that will help pay for candy, plastic eggs and prizes. Several of Kohl’s employees will help McKendree staff and volunteers to stuff the Easter eggs with assorted candy. In addition, the Donelson-Hermitage Exchange Club will sponsor and donate the Grand Prizes in each age category. Their prizes will have a literacy theme.

In addition to the Egg Hunt, there will be very special appearance by Janet Ivey of the Emmy Awarding Winning Children’s show Janet’s Planet. Janet has won multiple Emmy awards in the Children’s Educational Programming category for her program, “Janet’s Planet.” These dynamic and fast-paced spots focus on scientific and historical facts and events. We are pleased to welcome Janet as our Mistress of Ceremonies for our inter-generational McKendree event.
