The Egg Scramble will take place outside on the driving range at The
Ridge – rain, snow or shine. Come early to enjoy complimentary
coffee, hot chocolate and donuts and remember to bring a basket to
carry treasures home. The egg scramble will unfold in three phases – egg hunters ages 0 to 4, ages 5 to 7 and ages 8 to 11. For a lucky few, there are special prizes stashed in the eggs. Among the hidden treasures are a free golf lesson with The Ridge’s head golf pro, Bryson Hotchkins, a bowling and pizza party for four at Celebrity Lanes, a $50 gift card to Boondocks and lots of $10 gift cards to Smoothie King and The Bundt Shoppe – in addition to a variety of candy, stickers and toys in each egg. There will be a very special bunny on hand for those Hallmark photo opportunities as well.
The Ridge is hosting a golf tournament the same morning, so parking will be limited in their parking lot. Residents are encouraged to park on Castle Pines Parkway, which will be available for on-street parking. Park Place Restaurant at The Ridge will be open for brunch and lunch following the event, and reservations are highly recommended. Call 303-688-4301 to book your reservation.
Volunteers are still needed from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. to help make the day “eggstra” special. Contact event coordinator Jolene Richardson at jolene@castlepinesco.gov for more information.
