Local golfers are also inviting kids out to their annual egg hunt this Saturday. The Seguin Pan American Golf Association will host its annual City Easter Egg Hunt
Toyo Amador, one of the coordinators for the egg hunt, says families are welcome to join them for what he believes is Seguin’s oldest Easter Egg Hunt tradition.
“This is about, oh my gosh, about our 49th annual Easter Egg Hunt. I joined 47 years ago, and they were already doing it, so it’s been a while. We are fielding children between the ages of 2 and 4 and then between 5 and 6, 7 and 8 and 9 through 12 starting at 11 o’clock,” said Amador.
Amador says the best part is seeing the children enjoy the festivities year after year.
“We are hoping to get right around 100 to 150 kids,” Amador. “Everyone is welcome to come, the area community children. We have an excessive amount of Easter eggs, candy, baskets, bikes, prizes for the kids and all are welcome to come and join us. We are ready to hand out the prizes and for the kids to come and sweep them all up. They act like vacuum cleaner. We have them all out and then it’s over in five minutes,” said Amador.
A local truck and car club will also be hosting a special egg hunt on Saturday at Manuel Castilla Park. The egg hunt for local kids from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. The event sponsored by the South Flo Riderz will offer two different hunts. The first will begin at 2 p.m. for kids ages 1 to 5 followed by the second hunt at 2:30 p.m. for kids ages 6 to 12.
The event will also include food, drinks, prizes, music and a visit with the Easter Bunny.
