Easter Egg Hunt at Tri Norse Winter Park
Apr

Easter Egg Hunt at Tri Norse Winter Park

Bring your family out to Tri-Norse for breakfast with the Easter bunny and let the kids hunt for eggs along the trail at their leisure!

Breakfast will begin at 9:30am and the menu includes homemade pancakes, fresh fruit, and breakfast sausage. Beverages include choice of milk, orange juice, water or coffee.

The egg hunt will run from 11am-1pm and kids will be able to find a “rainbow of eggs” throughout the park. Like last year, we will have designated sections for each age group to find some eggs. Once you collect one egg of each color, return to the chalet to get a goodie bag and a ticket for a chance to win a BIG Easter basket. The drawing will be at 12:30pm and you must be present to win.

The Easter Egg hunt is FREE for all children.

The cost of the breakfast will be determined based on the amount of sponsorships and donations the club receives prior to the event. Our goal is to provide a low cost or free meal for families to enjoy. If you or your business are interested in making a donation, please contact us at trinorsewinterpark@gmail.com

We hope to see you at the hill!
