Boasting a quarter-million eggs, it’s known as the largest egg hunt on the West Coast. And eggs won’t be the only things present in large numbers at the sixth annual Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday, April 11 at Freedom High School in Oakley. Attendance is expected to approach 60,000.

Mountain View Christian Center and Trinity Christian School are the main sponsors of this year’s event. The school, which has opened a brand-new facility in Oakley, is experiencing exponential growth in the number of students in attendance and is meeting the challenge of national academic standards.

The event will feature prizes, 50 inflatables, pony rides, cotton candy, popcorn and 16,000 hot dogs – all for free.

Helping Hands (an outreach ministry of MVCC) will also be present at the Eggstravaganza to give away food and clothing to those in need. (The event will accept non-perishable canned food items.)

The organizers are also looking for sponsors in several areas, including the donation of bottled water, hot dogs and/or monetary gifts. If you or your business can help in any way, call Pastor Joe Seeley at 925-625-9570.
