Local youth will be scrambling for more than 50,000 mini chocolate eggs this weekend, during the 25th annual Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt.

Members of JCI St. Catharines are preparing to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of the Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt, set to take place Saturday at Jaycee Gardens. More than 50,000 mini chocolate eggs will be distributed in the park by JCI members.

“It’s our signature event - the biggest event we run each year,” said project chair Scott Clarkson. “Part of the focus of our group is community service, and it’s nice to be able to provide this and give back every year.”

“Four or five thousand people will hopefully be out if it’s nice,” he said stressing the event is held rain or shine. “It’s a great family day, with lots to do.”

“We’re raising funds for a great cause in Community Care and we really hope to make it a big event for them,” said Clarkson.
