Easter Egg Hunt is Back!

Deerfield Township is so "egg-cited" to host the annual Easter Egg Hunt this March! In partnership with North Cincinnati Community Church, this free community event will take place on Saturday, March 23, at Cottell Park. There are 3 egg patches divided by age (4 & under, 5-7, 8-11) to guarantee a safe and fun time for all. In order to lessen environmental impact and ensure a positive experience for everyone, the kids will trade in the eggs they collect at one of our trade in stations for a bag full of goodies!

Additional activities include a petting zoo, pictures with the Easter Bunny, Kona Ice, Churro food truck, vendors, games, and an awesome kids fitness class courtesy of Crunch Fitness-Mason.

Grab your baskets and hop on over to Cottell Park for an egg-cellent time!
