The city of Santee is excited to partner with the Santee
Lakes Recreation Preserve to present the 10th Annual Spring Eggstravaganza,
a daylong event with an old-fashioned Easter theme.
About 20,000 plastic eggs will be stashed around the Santee
Lakes on Saturday, March 30th for kids ages 8 and younger to find.
Each child participating in an egg hunt will receive a goody bag filled with
snacks, coupons, and small toys.
In addition to the egg hunts, families can look forward to
crafts, inflatables, carnival rides, pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting,
and Primo DJ.
Adding to the photo opportunities, characters such as the
Easter bunny, Boomers’ kangaroo, the Chick-fil-A cow and Wendy’s Frosty will be
roaming the event in full costume.
Last year, an estimated 8,000 children and adults attended
the event, and a similar crowd is expected this year. Please plan ahead for
parking locations. A free shuttle is available from several locations inside
Santee Lakes.
Eggstravaganza begins at 9:00 a.m. with
continuous egg hunts throughout the day until 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $0.50 each,
and activities and rides range from 1 to 10 tickets. Admission to the event is
free, but there is a $5 charge to park inside the recreation preserve. For more
