Mark Your Calendar!!

All are welcome to join the fun at the 12th Annual Eggs-travaganza scheduled for the Saturday before Easter (March 26) at 9 am in the Children’s play area of Riverside Park. Bring your containers, cameras, smiles, kids and grandkids for our annual egg hunt.  Several thousand eggs are “hidden” for the hunt, including traditional colored eggs, plastic eggs filled with candy, and special ceramic and paper mache eggs produced by the artists at Murray Hill Pottery.  The Eggs-travaganza is sponsored by the Murray Hill Neighborhood Association, Murray Hill Pottery Works, Walgreens and the Upper East Side Business Improvement District.

ALSO! Be a Good Murray Hill Neighbor – Help Out and Have Some Fun!  We have two fun ways to volunteer to help with this event.

First, many hands will make the task of coloring the many dozens of real eggs easier.  You could even organize your own dyeing/decorating party!  Eggs will be available at Murray Hill Pottery Works (2456 N. Murray Ave.) by noon on Friday March 18^th.  They will be in the entry way with a sign-out sheet, and you can take as few or as many cartons as you have the energy to decorate! The dyed eggs are needed back for hiding by Friday night, March 25th, by 6 PM.

Second, we could also use an hour of your time to help hide the eggs on Saturday morning, March 26th in Riverside Park at 8 am. Then, stay to watch the anticipation, excitement and smiles on the faces of the children (and their parents). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Cynthia Sommer (wcsommer@yahoo.com; 962-7076) or Geralyn Flick from Murray Hill pottery (geralynflick@mac.com; 332-8828)
