“It’s an important part of their mission — serving people,” said Alexian Community Life Activities Director Marie Ross, speaking of the Alexian Brothers’ desire to reach out to the community. “I think it’s a good, fun family event.”
The hunt is open to all children on the mountain in elementary school and younger, as well as children of Alexian employees.
Ross said last year’s hunt drew around 370 to 400 children from the community, and this year they expect up to 500.
“If it doesn’t rain, it’s going to be the biggest ever,” she said. “Last year’s was in March, and this year the weather should be much nicer.”
