Merrittville Speedway & Dubé Realtors have partnered up again to bring back this FREE Easter Egg Hunt with a new twist, happening Friday April 18th 12-5pm. This year we will mark the 2nd Merrittville Speedway Easter Egg Hunt. “More planning and consideration as been our main focus to identify safety and crowd control, better parking, more signage, extra barricades and a directional flow of activities that will keep the crowds moving through both sides of the race track, instead of one like we did last year” says Don Spiece owner of Merrittville Speedway.

Good Friday is the date for the Hunt this year! An afternoon event and it is FREE ADMISSION for families and kids. The main attraction will be the Easter Egg hunt with 4 different time slots. Individual age group hunts have been removed this year. The Easter Egg Hunt with a hunts starting at 1pm then 2pm, 3pm, and the last one at 4pm. Using golf balls, only one ball will be enough to hand in to get a candy bag. Children of all ages accompanied by their parent/guardian will be able to enjoy the hunt together. Adding an accessibility area, including babies in strollers, is a safe way to participate. There will be candy prizes for every child 13 and under, ONLY, who participate in the hunt. Justin Dubé of Dubé Realtors will be back on stage with trivia and prizes to give away, as the tradition continues. Dubé’s one-of-a-kind hand-built carnival games will be out for all ages to enjoy and the famous prize table for rewards. More fun activities for the entire family, racing cars, fire trucks, inflatables, police cruisers for kids to sit in, a coloring contest, and so much more.
