Two sessions will be held — one at 2 p.m. and one at 3:15 p.m. — for children to enjoy the egg hunt, as well as special treats and photo opportunities. The deadline to register is Tuesday, March 10, and registration is available online. If interest exceeds capacity, a lottery will be conducted among those registered. Everyone who registers will be notified by Friday, March 13, via email. Those selected will receive complete details about their session.

“The Easter egg hunt is one of our family’s favorite traditions,” Hui said. “Mung and I, along with our three children, look forward to hosting each year and are grateful for the opportunity to provide a fun event where Boilermaker families can make cherished springtime memories.”
