Easter egg hunts slated today on North Olympic Peninsula

Egg hunts and a special Easter breakfast are planned today on the North Olympic Peninsula.

In East Jefferson County, community Easter egg hunts are planned in Port Townsend and Brinnon.

■ The 81st annual Port Townsend Elks Lodge Easter egg hunt will be at 8 a.m. in Chetzemoka Park on Jackson Street between Garfield and Roosevelt streets.

In addition to dyed eggs, children can find 12 golden eggs, each worth $2, and 12 silver eggs, each worth $1.

Bags of candy and plastic eggs with goodies inside also will be hidden.

The hunt is open to the public and is free of charge, with children up to 12 years old competing in three divisions.

Boy Scouts will hide the eggs before the hunt begins.

For more information, phone the Elks Lodge at 360-385-0317.

■ Some 80 dozen eggs will be hidden for children 11 and younger at the American Legion Marvin G. Shields Post 26 Ladies Auxiliary Easter egg hunt at 1 p.m.

The hunt will be at Legion Park, off Discovery Bay Road behind the Port Townsend sign at the mill stoplight.

There will be prizes for three age groups, and the Easter Bunny will make an appearance.

■ The Brinnon Booster Club will host an egg hunt at Dosewallips State Park at 1 p.m.

■ Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course, 1965 Woodcock Road, will hold an Easter egg hunt from 10 a.m. to noon.

Children 12 and younger can search the fairway on the first hole for hundreds of eggs filled with candy and cash prizes.

Special golden eggs will be hidden as well, with prizes like family dinners, free junior golf camp entries and more.

Egg-collecting bags will be provided.

■ A special Easter breakfast will be served at the Forks Elks Lodge, 941 Merchant Road, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Ham, sausage, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, french toast, scrambled eggs, orange juice and coffee will be served for $7 for adults and $5 for children 11 and younger and seniors.
