In a welcome sign of spring, The Osborn announced its Easter Egg Hunt, a much-loved tradition for the community, to be held Saturday, April 8, 2023. The Osborn will host the special springtime morning of Easter fun on its majestic campus in Rye (101 Theall Road). The annual event is held in memory of longtime board member and former Chair, Jack Miller, who personified the spirit of the season.
During the festivities, 6,000 candy-filled Easter eggs will be hidden for children to find, gather and enjoy. The event is split into two groups – one for children under 3 years of age and the other for children over 3, allowing the little ones a head start on the Hunt.
Residents of The Osborn line the sidelines of the South Lawn and Porch to have a bird’s eye view of the lively fun, allowing seniors and children to interact in a mutually joyful way. For nearly two decades, this event has been drawing hundreds of participants from all over Westchester County as well as southern Fairfield County, Connecticut.
“What makes our Easter Egg Hunt an especially uplifting event is the gathering of people of all ages on our expansive lawn surrounded by flowering trees,” said Matthew G. Anderson, President and CEO of The Osborn. “From tiny toddlers to our residents, everyone enjoys our picturesque setting during this colorful time of the year.”
The Osborn Easter Egg Hunt is free and open to the public and pre-registration is NOT required. The Hunt begins promptly at 11:15 a.m. with gates opening at 10:45 a.m. Participants should bring their own baskets to gather eggs.
The Easter Bunny will make a special appearance and be available for photos. The festivities will also feature carnival games and refreshments available for purchase. For information, please call (914) 925-8218 or visit www.theosborn.org/events.
