With internet tales of greedy and aggressive parents spoiling egg hunts, kids and their well-mannered parents can be assured that such behavior shall not be tolerated at the O Bee Credit Union Egg Dash. Event organizers Mixx 96.1 KXXO promise to deliver a safe and well-controlled environment for kids 2-10 to dash for candy and prizes hidden in over 17,000 plastic eggs.
Having a lot of volunteers is a key, said Toni C. Holm, Mixx 96.1 station manager and event coordinator. The support of the Thurston County Explorers, plus all our staff and a lot of community helpers, has allowed us to have a controlled and kid-focused event every year. We have a LOT of eggs and the volunteers are ready to make sure every kid gets some!”
The Egg Dash will start, rain or shine, at 11 A.M. sharp Saturday, March 30 at Dream Team Field (formerly Bucknell Field) on Marvin Road in Lacey. Parents should plan on arriving early to allow time for parking and prevent their children from being disappointed.
Children ages 2-3 and any children needing special assistance will begin promptly at 11 A.M., with 4-5 year olds without adults, 6-7 year olds without adults, and 8-10 year olds without adults to follow in close succession. Bring a basket or something to hold eggs, and Mixx 96.1 will provide the rest! Every egg is stuffed with candy or a slip redeemable for a prize. In each age group one egg will contain a grand-prize slip for a new bike and helmet from The Bike Stand.
O Bee Credit Union Egg Dash sponsors include TOGETHER! – a youth violence, drug, tobacco and alcohol prevention project, Bayview and Ralph’s Thriftways, Jumping Jacks, Dream Team Field, The Bike Stand, Bonjour Cupcakes, O Bee Credit Union, and Mixx 96.1 KXXO radio.
