Petting zoo and egg hunts will still take place on the grass—please bring your own basket. Walking or biking to the event is encouraged. Ross School blacktop bathrooms will also be unlocked and available to attendees.

Be sure to bring your own basket to collect eggs filled with fun and sweet surprises like plantable seed paper confetti, legos, stickers and candies. Also, since the plastic eggs can not be recycled, please deposit them in our Egg Collection Bin after the hunt so they can be refilled and reused next year.
