Easter Egg Hunt at Nash Farm Battlefield

Friday, March 22, 2013

The Henry County Parks & Rec department held their fifth annual flashlight Easter Egg Hunt at Nash Farm Battlefield in Hampton. Thousands of people came out to the event which featured a petting zoo, games, food, inflatables, entertainment by Radio Disney, a visit from the Easter Bunny and of course four separate egg hunts split between children’s age groups. The highlight came before the first hunt when a Vietnam War era Army helicopter dropped an additional 2,000 eggs onto the field for the children to find. Thousands of eggs were spread across the hunt areas before the madness ensued. Then right before the sun set, children and their parents sprinted around picking up the plastic eggs filled with prizes and candy.
