Family Easter Egg Hunt and Brunch for Aston Residents!

On Saturday, March 31, Aston Township will hold its annual Community Easter Egg Hunt for all Aston children under age 12 on the athletic field behind the Aston Community Center (our building) on Concord Road. Some of the plastic eggs scattered on the grass will be redeemable for special prizes for different age groups. The free event starts at 10:30 am and happens fast, so don’t be late!

Something new for Egg Hunt families this year will be an hour-long Brunch with the Easter Bunny, which starts at 9am in the Rick Owsley Fieldhouse. Organized by the same volunteers on the Recreation Committee who made the First Annual Winter Fun Festival such a huge success in December, the Easter Brunch will feature a Continental breakfast; the opportunity for parents to photograph their kids with the Easter Bunny; and other children’s activities.

The limit for this special prelude to the Easter Egg Hunt is 200 children (ages 2-12), so pre-registration is required. Call the township office at 610-494-1636 to register.

Happy Easter!
