7th Annual Aqua-Egg Hunt
Saturday, April 8 @ 1pm

We've learned that this event was recently cancelled this year due to a scheduling conflict. Oh dear, the Easter Bunny has spilled his eggs in the pool! Kiddos ages 3 and older are needed to help rescue the Easter Bunny’s eggs. This unique, water-filled hunt is free and open to the community. Registration in advance is a must, and you’ll want to hop right on it because limited spots are available! Register online at www.billingsymca.org or pop by the Y.
Families with small children will need a parent to get in the water with them. The festivities begin at 1pm, but the hunts will be divided in groups by age.
