The Recreation Division within Charlotte County Community Services created the Easter Hippity, Hoppity, Hopalong and Easter Egg-scursion Scavenger Hunt in response to community needs and to efficiently provide excellent service to our families. The event idea(s) were specifically designed to address the need to provide quality Easter-themed events in lieu of the traditional Easter Egg hunt due to the pandemic. The scavenger hunt was designed to replace the typical hunt, while also getting exposure to the countyâs many parks and playgrounds. The the drive-through Easter egg giveaway was designed to provide a worry-free and safe alternative to give the kids a similar Easter egg-gathering experience. Decorations, music, and characters, including the Easter Bunny, were used to create a visually and aesthetically pleasing almost theme park-like environment. Golden eggs were scattered randomly in bags that could be redeemed for greater prizes from the drive-through event and a social media photo like-and-share component was designed and utilized in the scavenger hunt for prizes as well.
