Join us for a VIRTUAL Easter Egg Hunt! You Could Win $50 in Groceries!

Find 8 Hidden Easter Eggs on Our Site from April 2-12!

By Meghan Friedland, Publisher/Editor, Macaroni Kid Danbury-Bethel-Ridgefield, CT April 2, 2020

Normally this time of year we'd be gathering at Tarrywile Park and Mansion for our 4th Annual Macaroni Kid Easter Egg Hunt, filled with festive crafts, refreshments and visits with the Easter Bunny inside the mansion followed by a friendly egg hunt on the back lawn. We were very saddened to have to cancel that event due to state mandates regarding social gatherings instituted last month. Not only has it become a favorite family tradition for so many Greater Danbury area families (including my own!) but it has also become a very important fundraiser for Tarrywile. 

Becky Petro, Executive Director of Tarrywile Park and Mansion shares, "Even though we are a public park, we are only funded 50% by the city. The financial support we receive from Macaroni Kid through the Annual Easter Egg and Candy Cane Hunts enables us to continue to care for things like the Children’s Garden, our trails, the Environmental Education Center and many other parts of Tarrywile Park that the local community has come to enjoy."

Since we can't physically gather at Tarrywile this year, we have come up with not one, but two Easter Egg Hunt alternatives for our reader families. 1) A VIRTUAL Easter Egg Hunt (see below) and 2) A Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt From a Distance (see article here). There is no cost to participate in either of these Easter Egg Hunt activities. However we ask that you please consider making a $5, $15 or even a $25 donation to Tarrywile Park and Mansion since we couldn't have our Egg Hunt fundraiser there this year. You can learn more about Tarrywile and donate by clicking on the image below.

We've "hidden" eight numbered eggs within our website. You will need to search through our articles, guides, events and business directory to find each of the eggs. See what each egg looks like in the image above and go hunting! When you do find one, click on the egg and an entry form will open for you to complete to get one entry into the random drawing to win a $50 gift card to Caraluzzi's Markets! You will receive one entry for each egg that you find - you can get up to 8 entries! 

We'd like to send a special thanks to Caraluzzi's Markets for generously donating the $50 gift card which was to be originally raffled off at our 4th Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Tarrywile Park. We are thrilled to be able to re-purpose it as a prize for our Virtual Easter Egg Hunt. Caraluzzi's Markets, with locations in Bethel, Newtown and Georgetown, is currently open from 7:30am-8:00pm and is working around the clock to stock their shelves and sanitize their stores to keep their employees and customers in good health. Thank you Caraluzzi's!
