Spring Eggstravaganza: Golden Gate Park egg hunts

Why does a bunny bring eggs at Easter? If you can catch him hiding the eggs for Saturday's Spring Eggstravaganza in Golden Gate Park's Sharon Meadow, maybe you can ask him.

Sponsored by the Recreation and Park Department, this year's event has an "Alice in Recreation Land" theme. It will feature not only the obligatory Easter egg hunts, but also plenty of other amusements - including rides, jumpy houses, arts and crafts and a rib cook-off "Top Chef"-style, between Rec and Park and the city's Police and Fire departments.

The event will pack a lot in, according to Connie Chan, deputy director of public affairs, who says that the Recreation and Park team is expecting thousands of visitors for what has become a springtime tradition.
