Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Presented by Bumgarner &amp; Martin Orthodontics and Skylift Garage Doors, this free family event offers a fresh approach to the traditional egg hunt. Instead of different age groups \u201cscrambling\u201d for eggs at assigned times, children and their families are invited to stroll along the \u201cBunny Trail\u201d and collect their eggs any time between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The festivities will also feature a DJ pumping out fun tunes, a roaming magician, bubble artist, Easter-themed crafts, and \u2013 of course \u2013 a visit from the Easter Bunny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration is not required, but participants should come with baskets in hand ready to fill at designated stops along the Bunny Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, an Egg-ceptional Zone will cater to children with disabilities and their families from 10:30 to 11 a.m. Situated in the small, grassy field in front of the historic barns, the zone is designed to provide a fun, safe, family-friendly environment that allows children who may have difficulty participating in a traditional egg hunt the opportunity to pick up Easter eggs at their own pace. Bring a buddy to help if needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following local businesses and organizations have generously contributed to the 2025 Wake Forest Easter Eggstravaganza:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/skyliftgaragedoors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Skylift Garage Doors<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesbybmo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bumgarner &amp; Martin Orthodontics<\/a>&nbsp;and Partner Sponsors:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidsstreeturgentcare.com\/locations\/wake-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kids Street Urgent Care<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossroads.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crossroads Fellowship<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lightbridgeacademy.com\/wake-forest-nc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lightbridge Academy<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebts.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/goldfishswimschool.com\/wake-forest\/?y_source=1_MTYwNjg0OTUtNzE1LWxvY2F0aW9uLndlYnNpdGU%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Goldfish Swim School<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccoastalpines.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Girl Scouts NC Coastal Pines<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/renewalnc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Renewal by Andersen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of inclement weather on the day of the event, organizers will announce a decision on whether to proceed as early as possible.
