Mighty Mussels hosting Easter Egg Hunt on April 19 at Hammond Stadium
The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels are hosting Southwest Florida’s largest Easter Egg Hunt, which will feature thousands of eggs scattered across the outfield grass inside Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex.
Gates will open at 4:50 p.m. on Saturday, April 19 to accommodate early arriving families. The annual holiday tradition begins promptly at 5:15 p.m. as children 12 and under line up along the foul lines before Mussel Man himself leads participants across the field.
“The Easter Bunny will be hiding several thousand eggs in the outfield grass at Hammond Stadium, covering nearly 3 acres with eggs,” said Managing Partner John Martin. “They say the Kentucky Derby is the most exciting two minutes in sports, but our Easter Egg Hunt is quite the spectacle and parents probably enjoy it as much as the kids.”
