🐣 WOW! What a morning!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who bundled up and came out for our Easter Egg Hunt today! Despite the cold wet weather, we had a record turnout- and that just goes to show how amazing this community is! ❤️

To the kids who braved the chill and hunted with everything they had, the families who showed up and cheered their little people on, and to all of our volunteers (Corcoran Lions, Corcoran Police Department, Hanover Fire Dept, Maple Grove Middle School Theater, the Rockford FFA Club, two members of JCI Shakopee, Culver's Maple Grove for their donation and friends and family of the NW Area Jaycees) who made it happen— THANK YOU!! You all made it a morning to remember!!

We’ll see you all next year!! 🐰

Hidden among the eggs on EVERY field this Saturday are a number of 👍 GOLDEN EGGS 👍

If your little one is lucky enough to find one... don't crack it open just yet! 😄

Bring it to the PRIZE TABLE located near the fence between the 3–5 and 6–10 fields and claim the special prize! 🎁✨

⏪️ THROWBACK TUESDAY— The Time Mother Nature Tried to Cancel Us … and FAILED! ❄️🐰

Picture this: It's Easter egg hunt morning, 2018 . The kids are ready. The eggs are hidden. And … 6 INCHES OF SNOW fell overnight!! 😬❄️

Did the Northwest Area Jaycees cancel? Absolutely not. 💪

We pivoted faster than you can say “egg hunt” and turned the whole thing into a DRIVE-THRU Easter experience — and honestly? It might be one of our most legendary events ever. 🥚✨

The Easter Bunny wasn't about to let a little snow stop him from delivering the goods — and neither were we. 🐰❤️

This Saturday we're back at it — and the forecast is looking a whole lot better. ☀️ See you at Corcoran Lions Park for the Easter Egg Hunt!
