Bremer Team Easter Egg Hunt set April 12

The second annual Bremer Team – Keller Williams Success Realty Easter Eggstravaganza gates open at 10 a.m., with the hunt starting promptly at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 12, at the McHenry Outdoor Theater, 1510 Chapel Hill Road, east of McHenry. For added fun, each adult in attendance will receive a raffle ticket good for a chance to select an egg containing one of several donated gift certificates.

“More than just an egg hunt, the free family fun will include a visit from the Easter Bunny as well as opportunities for young attendees to test their building skills at a Home Depot Kids’ Workshop, and the concessions will be open at the Outdoor Theater,” said Dawn Bremer, owner and president of the McHenry-based Bremer Team. “Plus, we’ve added some extra excitement for the adults this year.

“This is a ginormous, fun-filled community event designed to bring families together to create lasting memories,” she continued. “We put out 10,000 eggs last year, and we’ll do it again.”

Bremer noted the hunting grounds will be divided into categories for those 3 and younger, 4 to 7 and 8 to 10. Children should bring their own baskets. After collecting their eggs, participants will receive a candy bag put together by McHenry Villa residents.

“We’ll have some bags that contain candy and others that contain trinkets like temporary tattoos and small toys — for kids who may be allergic,” Bremer said. “Each child will receive the same amount. It’s important to us that no child feels left out.”

After the eggs have all been found, the kids will turn them in and receive their candy or goody bag.  Those who found one of the special eggs also will be identified. Rare eggs will afford their discoverers prizes like free popcorn or a night at the movies at the Outdoor — open weekends as of March 21 — or even a special gift donated by the McHenry Meijer store.  

Bremer said the first Bremer Team egg hunt last year was a terrific success, and she and her team look forward to greeting families for this year’s holiday fun.

“We love to give back,” she said. “We are committed to supporting local families, building relationships and making a positive impact in the area, and this is another way that we do that.”

McHenry Outdoor Theater owner Scott Dehn said he, too, looks forward to the spring family fun.

“All the kids love going to an Easter egg hunt, especially the ones that are run well, which this one is,” he said. “Plus, this is a little more special because of the setting it’s in. You see the big screen as the backdrop and all these kids hunting for eggs. It’s kind of unique.”
