Soroptimist International of Coupeville is celebrating its 25th annual Easter Egg Hunt in grand style.

Roughly 3,200 candy-filled plastic eggs will be scattered around Coupeville Town Park for children to hunt down Saturday, April 4.

There also will be a chance to win prizes.

“The generous donations I received this year will enable us to have larger area for each age group and more candy-filled eggs,” said Sue Blouin, the chairperson in charge of the event.

Separate areas are cordoned off for simultaneous egg hunts for three different age groups for children up to 9 years old.

There also will be a coin toss for children 10 and older.

The egg hunts start promptly at 10 a.m., so arriving early is important, Blouin said.

Raffle tickets will sold for a chance to win prize-filled Easter baskets. Tickets are $1 apiece, six for $5 or 12 for $10.

Also, an Easter bunny will be on hand for photo opportunities. Food donations are encouraged to help Gifts from the Heart Food Bank.
