Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt raises funds for Relay March 31


March 20, 2012 · 3:53 PM

ARLINGTON — The Haller Middle School stadium will be lit up by the flashlights of Easter egg hunters on the evening of Saturday, March 31, to help support this year's Arlington Relay For Life.

The gates to Hartz Field will open at 8:30 p.m. and 100 percent of the $5 admission fee to that night's "Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt" will go to the American Cancer Society. The hunt itself is set to start at 9 p.m., come rain or shine, with one age group, open to ages 3-103.

Hundreds of eggs will be filled with candy, trinkets, cash and hundreds of dollars' worth of prizes donated by local business, but hunters will need to bring their own flashlights and baskets.

This event is sponsored by the Friends For Life and Friends For Life Youth teams on this year's Arlington Relay For Life.
