On your mark, get set… hunt!

An “egg-normous opportunity for fun for all ages will unfold Easter Sunday, April 5, as the San Juan Island Firefighters Association hosts its annual Easter Egg Hunt at Jackson’s Beach.

The actual hunt will be preceded by a special appearance by the busiest creature of the day, the Easter Bunny, who will pose for photographs with fans of all ages as well.

The engine horn will blow at 1 p.m. to signal the start of the hunt. Children ages 0-12 are encouraged to participate; hunting grounds are partitioned into age-appropriate categories.

A bounty of prizes are in store for the battalion of hunters  and there will be tons of edible eggs as well.

In keeping with tradition, the Firefighters Association will be collecting donations for the Food Bank as part of the event.

Eggs will be dyed Friday, April 3, beginning at 5 p.m. at the former Town of Friday Harbor fire station, across the street from rear parking lot of King’s Market. Families are welcome to join in the egg-dying action.
