The Humane Society of St. Thomas will host its annual Easter Egg Hunt for Kids Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the HSSTT Animal Care Campus, located across from the entrance to Cost U Less and Home Depot on the Weymouth Rhymer Highway, the organization announced.
The event is a seasonal, family-focused fundraiser that supports the shelter’s mission of caring for adoptable animals in the community, according to the press release.
Children of all ages are invited to participate in various springtime activities, including egg hunts, crafts, and meet-and-greets with pets currently available for adoption. Shelter staff will also be on hand to provide information about their programs and services, the press release stated.
“This event is one of our favorite ways to connect with families and celebrate the season,” said Kathryn Kennington, HSSTT shelter manager. “Not only is it a fun day for the kids, but it also helps us raise awareness for pet adoption and the work we do year-round.”
Event Highlights Include:
• Easter Egg Hunt for 1,200 eggs – Under five hunt at 11:30 a.m., All ages hunt at noon
• Photos with the Easter Bunny and an Easter parade down to the park
• Meet-and-greet with adoptable animals
• Face painting, craft stations, and giveaways
• Refreshments and snacks for children
• Bloody Marys and mimosas available for purchase
• Shelter and adoption information
Admission is $10, and all proceeds directly support the care of animals at the shelter. Donations are welcome. Families are encouraged to bring their own baskets and arrive early, as the eggs tend to go quickly, the release stated.
