It\u2019s common for Summit County to go all out for Easter celebrations since the Sunday usually falls in tandem with the last days of spring skiing. No matter your age or location, there\u2019s the opportunity to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Frisco<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">On Sunday, 5,000 eggs will be hidden throughout the Frisco Historic Park and town hall for children ages 8 and under. Roughly 400 kids are expected to participate in the three age groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Those 3 and younger will hunt for eggs around Frisco Town Hall while the historic park\u2019s gazebo lawn will be for those ages 4-5 and the upper lawn will be set aside for the older 6- to 8-year-olds. The historic schoolhouse bell will toll at noon, signaling the start of all three, free egg hunts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Those with keen eyes that find eggs with golden coins can bring them to the Easter Bunny for a special treat. Additionally, there will be one golden egg hidden for each age group that can be exchanged for a book package at Next Page Books and Nosh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Be aware that Main Street from Madison Avenue to Second Avenue will be closed to traffic from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Easter egg hunt will end when all the eggs are found. Also, the Easter Bunny will visit with children before and after the hunt so make sure to not leave the camera at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Copper Mountain<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Just a hop down the road, Copper Mountain Ski Resort will host their annual Easter celebrations on Sunday. Dubbed the \u201cworld\u2019s largest Easter egg hunt\u201d there will be 65,000 eggs spread over 2,500 acres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The hunt is separated into four divisions: children ages 3 and under; ages 4\u20136, ages 7\u201311 and adults that search for 12 golden eggs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">If you can\u2019t get enough eggs, there will be an Easter brunch at Kokopelli\u2019s in the Copper Conference Center from 7:30\u201310 a.m. Don\u2019t forget to bring your camera for a photo opportunity with the Easter Bunny.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Silverthorne<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For another chance to meet the big bunny himself, head to the Outlets At Silverthorne Blue Village, next to the LOFT Outlet, for a photo opportunity and petting zoo. The Easter Bunny and pals will be there waiting from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Arapahoe Basin<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">This Sunday, skiers, snowboarders and walkers have their pick of trails while searching for 5,000 eggs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">At the base of beginner Molly Hogan lift, kids can collect eggs on foot starting at 10:30 a.m. Hidden among the goodies is a half-price, half-day lesson for kids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">At 11:30, children who would rather ski or snowboard can head to the green Wrangler trail near Weasel Way. Whoever is lucky enough to nab the golden egg will receive a 2019-20 season pass for a child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Breckenridge<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Though Breckenridge Ski Resort won\u2019t have a hunt, there will be an Easter Sunday sunrise service at Ten Mile Station on Peak 9. Public foot passenger access to the Quicksilver lift will begin at 6 a.m. with the service lasting from 6:30-7:30.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For those wanting to dive into unusual Easter territory, however, there\u2019s Breckenridge Recreation Center\u2019s second annual \u201cegguatic\u201d hunt. Set at the rec center\u2019s pool, four different age groups (5 and up, 6\u20138, 9\u201310 and 11 and up) will spend their Saturday swimming for treats from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">There\u2019s no need to worry about wet candy. Dry bags of goodies will be prepared for pickup after egg collection is complete. There may also be something special in store for whoever finds a golden egg. Due to an overwhelming response last year, participants must preregister at BreckenrigeRecreation.com.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/explore-summit\/on-the-hunt-how-to-celebrate-easter-in-summit-county\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children round up eggs during the 2017 Easter egg hunt in Frisco.
