West Side Nut Club Announces 79th Annual Easter Egg Hunt in Evansville

The West Side Nut Club invites you to hop on over to Mater Dei High School on Saturday, March 28, for their 79th Annual Easter Egg Hunt. As always, it promises to be another egg-citing afternoon for local families.

On that fateful day, thousands of kiddos and parents will gather on that hallowed ground (Am I being too dramatic?) for what’s known as the largest – and fastest – Easter egg hunt in the region.

The Fastest Easter Egg Hunt East of the Mississippi

How fast are we talking about? Faster than bunnies can make little babies! The hunt officially begins with a countdown at 1:00 PM, and it is usually over in less than a minute. In fact, organizers from the Nut Club estimate the eggs will be gone by about 1:00:59 PM! So, if you plan to attend, plan on getting there early. You don’t want to be responsible for your kid missing out on all of the chaotic fun.

Thousands Of Eggs And Big Prizes

Members of the West Side Nut Club will hide nearly 16,000 Easter eggs across the field, each one stuffed with candy and some with special prize tags. Lucky egg hunters could discover all kinds of fun surprises, including local gift certificates, candy baskets, stuffed animals, and other prizes.

Age Groups For The Egg Hunt

The egg hunt is designed for younger kids and will be divided into three age groups:

• Pre-School
• Kindergarten
• 1st through 3rd Grade

For generations of families in Evansville, this egg hunt has become a can’t-miss Easter tradition. It’s a chance for kids to burn off some energy, parents to grab some great photos and catch up with old friends, and the whole community to enjoy a little springtime fun together.
