Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone who came out for our 2nd Annual Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt! The turnout and the energy from our community truly blew us away.

Last year, we welcomed around 400 participants. This year, we planned for 800, and with 600 pre-registered, we were excited for a big event. What we experienced, however, was even greater: over 1,300 attendees joined us for the evening.

Due to the overwhelming response, we made on-the-spot adjustments to help ensure that all children had a fair opportunity to participate, including starting earlier than planned and organizing the hunt in waves by age group. We also encountered some unexpected technical issues with registration that day.

We appreciate everyone who showed patience and flexibility as we worked through these challenges in real time. Our priority has always been creating a fun, safe, and fair experience for all families.

This incredible turnout means a lot to us, and it’s clear how much our community values events like this. We’re already looking at ways to expand and improve next year to serve better everyone who wants to attend.

Thank you again for being part of such a memorable evening. We look forward to an even bigger and smoother event next year.
