Spring Eggstravaganza And Spring Bonnet or Hat Contest

About the Event

Join the Town of Gypsum, the Gypsum Library, and Mountain Recreation for our Spring Eggstravaganza!

Due to the continued popularity and large turnout for the Spring Eggstravaganza, we will again host this event along with the Gypsum Library and Mountain Recreation. This year's event will continue to offer age-appropriate egg hunts, bouncys, crafts, the Spring Bonnet or Hat Contest, and pictures with your favorite bunny, but these activities will take place in different locations (both inside and outside) around the Gypsum Municipal Campus.

At the Gypsum Recreation Center:

0-3 & 4-6 Year-old Egg Hunts, 5-7:00 PM - For children ages 0-3 and 4-6, there will be separate egg hunt areas in the community room inside the Gypsum Recreation Center. Entry for these hunts will be from the outside, on the West/Lundgren Lawn side of the GRC building. Children will be provided with a basket and released in groups of 10 in an area so they can easily grab filled eggs. This will start at 5 pm and continue until 7 pm or until all the eggs are gone, whichever comes first.

Bouncys - The ever-popular inflatable bouncys, along with other gym activities, will take place on the basketball court inside the Gypsum Recreation Center.

At the Town Hall/Library Park:

6-11 Year-old Egg Hunt, 6:00 PM- For children ages 6-11 we will have one "traditional" egg hunt (or better described as "dash") outside at the Town Hall/Library Park and around the exterior of the library starting at 6 pm (bring your own basket... not pillowcase, please.) Lineup will be at the south end of the park, by Lundgren Blvd.. This is typically over as soon as it starts, so don't be late.

At the Gypsum Library:

Spring Crafts, 5-7:00 PM - Various spring crafts will be available inside the Gypsum Library.

Spring Bonnet or Hat Contest - Enter your festive spring-inspired bonnet or hat at the event by 5:15 PM. Entry table will be located inside the Gypsum Library. Event attendees will vote for the Most Extravagant (and still able to remain on your head) in each of two age categories: Youth (age 6-13) Teen/Adult (age 14 and up). Plus, one Best Overall winner (all ages combined). Each age category winner receives $30 cash and the Best Overall winner receives $50 cash. The Public Choice awards will be announced at 6:45 PM in the Library. Please be sure to retrieve your creation at the end event (7 PM)

At Town Hall/Council Chambers

Bunny Photos, 5-7:00 PM - Make some memories with photos with your favorite Bunny located inside the Council Chamber at Town Hall.

This event is for ages 0-11 and is FREE to attend. Come prepared for Spring weather. Activities will take place inside the Gypsum Library, Gypsum Recreation Center, and Town Hall, as well as outside at the Town Hall/Library Park. Depending on the length of lines for the 0-3 & 4-6 year-old egg hunt areas and for the Bunny, please be prepared to spend part of your wait time in line, outside. Please no dogs or pets are allowed at this event.

We want to hear from you if you have an event to share or updates to this event.
