Kitsap Easter Egg Hunts Are Around The Corner

The spring equinox has passed. The festival of Easters is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox. You can obtain a more complete explanation by following this link to a short, interesting article on the history of the festival.

Local Eggs From The Peterson Farm

By recent tradition many of our Kitsap farmers celebrate the festival by offering Easter egg hunts on their farms with real, local eggs. These events are among the most popular events offered on the farms and they are good ways for families to do something fun and wholesome together and get to know your local farmer at the same time.

Pheasant Fields Farm Spring Egg Hunt and Food Drive – Saturday April 4

The first Annual Kitsap Farms Spring Egg Hunt will be held Saturday, April 4, 2009 at Pheasant Fields Farm.  It will include a number of activities including entertainment and a photo booth with a big Easter Bunny for your picture taking or purchase from a professional photographer.  Costumes are encouraged and may be rented for picture taking.  Every child in attendance will have time to look for eggs in a park-like setting.   There will be three sessions at 11 am, 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm lasting
1 ½ hours each and attendance is limited to 100 people for each session.  Small children will have a hunt area where parents may closely observe their fun. Parents will not be permitted to enter any other hunt areas.

The program includes children creating their own “mousey masks” to be used for the Bunny FooFoo show, a comical skit performed by local entertainers, Jo Walter, local storyteller, and Wendy Daniels of the Storybook Tea and Boutique in Bremerton.  An egg hunt will follow each show.  The cost is $5.00 per person with a limit of $20.00 per family.  Each canned food item brought will be a dollar off admission price and is encouraged.  Last year the egg hunt generated a truck load of food for CK Food Bank and event organizers are hopeful to be able to supply a greater amount this year.
In the future more farms will participate for families to enjoy egg hunts throughout the county while at the same time become more acquainted with our local Kitsap farms.
Pheasant Fields Farm is located 2 miles north of the Kitsap Mall on Clear Creek Road.  Call 360-697-6224 for more information.
