Organizer Chris Wiese said with the great turnout in 2021, they decided to bump up the number of eggs this year.

“It seemed like half the kids in Jackson County showed up. We were not expecting the turnout that we had,” he said. “Last year, we did 10,000 (eggs). This year, we are doing 16,000 and adding more adult prizes.”

Also at 2 p.m., an Easter egg hunt will be conducted at Surprise Christian Church, 6382 N. County Road 100W, Surprise. It’s open to the public.
