Myrtle Beach Easter Egg Plunge

City of Aiken Welcomes Masters Guests

Things were hopping at Myrtle Beach’s annual Easter Egg Plunge. More than 120 children enjoyed hunting for eggs in the swimming pool at Mary C. Canty Recreation Center. They were grouped by age, from three to 12, with the youngest accompanied by their parents. They jumped and dove to collect eggs – and practice their swimming skills – then traded the eggs for “bunny bucks,” which they used for candy and treats. Kids played games, made crafts and more before and after the aquatic attraction. The free event included a chance to see and sit in a Myrtle Beach Fire Truck and learn about water safety from the Myrtle Beach Police Department.

The City of North Myrtle Beach Parks & Recreation hosts a Touch A Truck event every April that offers kids of all ages an opportunity to climb, learn and discover! This free event provides a hands-on opportunity to explore larger-than-life vehicles like fire trucks, law enforcement vehicles, construction equipment, race cars and much more! Many civic groups are on site offering unique experiences for the children to grow and learn while having fun.
