After a two year absence due to Covid, the Easter Egg Hunt returned to Forest Road Park in Fanwood complete with the Easter Bunny, prizes, candy and an event first, hail.
This event is a massive production of the Fanwood Recreation Commission, Recreation Director Bob Budianski, local Boy Scouts and other volunteers. More than 2,000 plastic eggs filled with prizes and candy were spread across the playground in areas roped off by age. At the word GO, the children are unleashed to grab as many eggs as they can and put them in their baskets. It takes less than a minute. After learning what prizes they won, children lined up at prize tables or at the Bunny Chute to claim them.
And while lucky winners waited in line to claim prizes, the sky opened up. It rained, then it hailed. But it didn’t stop the Easter Bunny from posing for pictures and the several hundred Fanwoodians from having fun.
