2020 Brandon Edge Easter Egg Hunt
Although the Brandon Edge’s usual Easter Egg Hunt has been canceled, the Edge still has some Easter fun in store for local residents and business owners.
Here’s what you need to do: Place a decorated Easter egg(s) (colored, painted, hand-drawn) in a street facing window or visible area. Throughout the week, residents are encouraged walk or drive around Brandon to see how many eggs you found. Post the number of eggs with your child’s first name/age on the Brandon Edge Facebook page. List each child’s name, age and number of eggs found in separate posts.
The Edge will randomly draw names from all entries this Friday and the Easter Bunny will deliver the grand prizes on Saturday.
