Harford County Public Library/Inclusive Egg Hunt

Description

Harford County Public Library presents an Inclusive Egg Hunt, a fully accessible, creativity-filled spring celebration, on March 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Coppermine Bel Air Athletic Club, 658 Boulton Street in Bel Air. The event reimagines the traditional egg hunt to ensure children of all abilities, especially those who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices, can fully participate.
 
Families are invited to stroll a festive path of spring-themed trunks and interactive stations, collecting colorful eggs, treats and surprises along the way. Instead of searching across grassy fields, children engage with table-height, wheelchair-accessible experiences designed to bring the fun directly to them in imaginative ways. This egg hunt is a welcoming, all-ages community event where families can explore at their own pace and enjoy a safe, inclusive spring tradition together.
 
The sponsor of the event is Butcher on the Bay Restaurant. Event partners include Harford Center, SURVICE Engineering, Service Coordination, Inc., Jarrettsville Sealcoating and the Harford County Commission on Disabilities.
 
Community members, businesses and organizations are invited to help bring this event to life by participating in one of two ways. Participants may host a spring-themed trunk by decorating a vehicle and handing out candy, toys or trinkets in a style similar to a traditional trunk or treat. No special equipment is required, just creativity and enthusiasm. Participants may also create an accessible egg delivery station by designing a child-friendly, table-height experience that allows children to collect eggs with ease. Examples include pegboard drops, balloon-delivered eggs, tabletop chutes or ramps, simple pulley systems, magnetic egg pickups or any other imaginative, engaging and accessible setup.
