The Ruth King elementary school field will transform to a colourful mosaic of eggs this Saturday.

Chris Synesael, pastor of West Village Church will be out bright and early roping off the field and spreading 2,500 eggs for eager youngsters to collect.

The field will be roped into quadrants so youngsters can scramble for eggs in safety.

“We don’t want two year olds to have to compete against seven year olds,” said the Langford pastor.

After the hunt, the plastic eggs are traded in for chocolate ones. Last year the church stuffed the eggs by hand, but this way just seems a little easier, Synesael said.

Some will contain golden tickets. Any child lucky enough to nab a ticket can trade it in for a prize.

The family event will include bouncy castles, face painting, a fish pond and a candy bar and a crazy hair station.

“We will have coloured hairspray and elastics so the kids can make their hair as crazy as their face painting,” said church volunteer Kerri Braunberger. “It’s an afternoon of fun and it’s not just an egg hunt.”

The event is free including the barbecue.

“We just want to give back,” said Synesael. “As a church we want to give blessing to the community.”
