It’s time again for the annual Greater Smithfield Chamber of Commerce Easter Egg hunt. Plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes are hidden throughout Mack Park (or the Rec Center if weather is bad). It’s fun for children of all ages. The hunt begins at 9 AM sharp (or 9:30 AM at the Rec Center). The egg hunt is very popular, everyone has a great time, but it’s over fast so come early and be patient.

Over 1200 plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes will be ready this Saturday for the stampede of children at the annual Greater Smithfield Chamber of Commerce Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt begins at Mack Park at 9 AM so be there a little early and be patient. Past Easter Egg hunts have been a big hit and everyone had a great time. See you Saturday!
The Night of Giving was a sellout crowd this year with 214 people attending. We had to add a silent auction this year because of all the generous donations. There were 25 items up for silent auction plus all the trees and gifts donated for the live auction. This year Jared Parker and his dad Lane Parker kept everyone on their toes as the bids were flying. The Parker’s donated their services as well.
The parking lot was full Saturday morning, cars backed down every road. Volunteers scattered candy and eggs across the grass methodically as families exited their vehicles and gathered in the center of Mack Park.

No amount of snow could stop children in pursuit of easter eggs. The sun shown on new snow at Mack Park Saturday morning as children and parents waited patiently for the easter egg hunt to begin. And then, all at once, they were off. What took members of the Greater Smithfield Chamber of Commerce all morning to set up was over in just a few minutes.
