This egg hunt provides an opportunity for visually impaired and blind individuals, along with their families, to participate in an audible Easter egg hunt. The event will run from 2-4 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Families are asked to RSVP by Wednesday, March 25.
The specially designed plastic Easter eggs, donated by Stafford County-based International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators, emit a beeping sound that allows visually impaired children to retrieve the eggs using their hearing. The event also includes a miniature animal petting zoo, crafts, “Touch a Tractor” and Wegmans-sponsored healthy snacks.
Gari Melchers Home and Studio is a 28-acre estate and former residence of the artist Gari Melchers and his wife Corinne. The property, which is operated by the University of Mary Washington, is both a Virginia Historic Landmark and a National Historic Landmark.
