Lion Roary is excited to see his friend, the Easter Bunny, at the Giant Easter Egg Hunt. He also can hardly wait for all the wonderful hugs and smiles from children of all ages!

The Giant Egg Hunt is back at Kaposia Park on April 4th!

Join us for a fun-filled morning for all ages:
- Petting Zoo opens at 9:00 a.m.
- Egg Hunt begins right at 10:00 a.m. (be sure to arrive on time!)

To make the experience enjoyable for everyone, the hunt will be divided into four age groups and spread throughout the park: ages 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7+.

Be sure to stop by the South St. Paul Police Department tent for a donut while you’re there.

Free to attend – no registration required.

This event is generously sponsored by the SOUTH ST. PAUL LIONS.

Kaposia Park | Saturday, April 4th | 9:00–10:15 a.m.
