SPRING FLING & GLOW EGG COUNT – April 4 & 5
It’s a New Twist on the Easter Egg Hunt!
Have you ever seen glowing Easter eggs? We’ve discovered that the Easter Bunny hides lots of different colored glowing eggs inside Rushmore Cave. It happens each year over Easter weekend. So, make plans to come on out, take a cave tour and count all the glowing eggs you can find for a chance to win a GRAND PRIZE! Plus, the first 250 children are guaranteed a goodie bag! (Note: You do not collect the eggs, you count the number of different colored glowing eggs you see. This way, everyone has a chance to find and count them all.)
