Yummie’s Giant Easter Egg Hunt takes place on Saturday, April 3rd. The fun gets underway at 9am for those who want to have breakfast with Yummie and the Easter Bunny (reservations are required). We also have crafts, balloon twisting and the Cherry Crest Farm live peeps at the stage area from 9am until noon. And just this week we added a sky diver to the mix. Local Sky Diver Steve Lapp will “drop” into Kitchen Kettle around 10am with some treats for the kids. I think this is the first time we ever had a sky diver at Kitchen Kettle. Should be fun.
The egg hunting starts at 10:30am for the 0-3 age children; 10:45am for the 4-6 year olds and 11am for the 7-10 year olds. We wanted to stagger the times in case moms had a few children and needed to be at multiple hunt locations. Our lodging department has been busy filling eggs since January and at this time all 3,500 eggs are filled and ready to be hidden next week. We do have a golden egg in each category with a special prize for those children who find the golden egg.
Right now the weather forecast for Saturday looks good, much better than last years rainy day. Come enjoy a day at Kitchen Kettle Village, find some eggs, collect some prizes and have a wonderful holiday weekend.

I attended the hunt w/my 2 yr old son this morning, and was very disappointed!!! He was only allowed 5 eggs, again ONLY 5 EGGS!! 2 of them had vouchers for LEMON goldfish, 2 were empty and only one had a tiny piece of candy in it. I think that your company was very unprepared for the amount of small children, and chose a poor location to have it. What a great plan to have all these people show up and waste their time and then have to spend $$$ on things the kids want!!!
I am sorry that you were disappointed with the Kitchen Kettle Egg Hunt. Last year was our first year for the event and it rained. This year we increased the number of eggs to a total of 4,500, but we are unable to estimate the number of people who may attend this free event which requires no pre-registration. We will be meeting later this week to review the logistics of the event and I will be sure to share your comments, especially on the location. Thanks for your feedback and I hope you had a great Easter weekend.

We were at Kitchen Kettle the day before the Easter Egg Hunt and it was AWESOME! They had Banjo Jimmy playing, the sun was shining, and we were even greeted by Pat at the Jam and Relish Kitchen (my fiance is still “starstruck” lol).
I think it’s really wonderful what you guys do at KKV for families, especially since it was a FREE event! I don’t know where anyone can go anymore for entertainment…or anything for that matter…that is free! I guess some people are just eternally ungrateful for anything.
Lisa – you are extremely gracious, please don’t be disenchanted by one person’s comment. We love KKV and the great things you all do for others.
Wow Kim…you made my day! Thanks so much for the nice comments. I know that it is hard to please everyone, but it sounds like your family had a wonderful time at Kitchen Kettle! Thanks.
