Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — Hundreds of community members gathered in Dothan for a unique twist on a holiday tradition, as nearly 500 people took part in an adult Easter egg hunt earlier this month.
The event, known as “The Hunt: An Adult Easter Egg Hunt,” was held April 4 at the Westgate Tennis Center and presented by Mitchell Automotive. Attendees kicked off the evening with a social hour before competing in an egg and spoon race for an early advantage in the main event.
The hunt officially began at 8 p.m., with participants searching the tennis courts for eggs filled with prizes. Items included flat-screen TVs, AirPods, small appliances, coolers and gift cards.
Organizers said a total of 1,255 eggs were hidden, including 100 golden eggs valued at $80 each, 655 prize eggs worth $10 or more, and 500 candy-filled eggs. In total, more than $28,000 in prizes were distributed during the event.
Proceeds from the night will benefit the Wiregrass Museum of Art, supporting local programs and community initiatives.
