The Seventh Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Drumthwacket
April 4, 2009

Many, many thanks to numerous volunteers and key donors who facilitated the Drumthwacket Foundation's annual Easter Egg Hunt for more than 200 children and their families. It was a fun day for all!

Special needs children were here from the following schools and organizations:

Special Olympics
The Joseph Cappello School (Mercer County special school district) Trenton
The Eden Institute for autistic children, Princeton
The Katzenbach School for the deaf, Trenton
Special education classes and classified children from all Mercer County school districts
Mercer ARC
Hunterdon ARC

We also invite families from Princeton Young Achievers, the Princeton YWCA, and Princeton Nursery School.

This is the seventh year that Joe and Maribel Liberti of Drown the Clown have contributed wonderful carnival games. John and Debbie Zoller served hundreds of delicious hot pretzels. Dennis Schifter of Aardvark Amusements donated the popular instant photo booth. Pony rides were supplied by Saddle Up Li'l Partners.

Donations from statewide individuals and companies included candy and treats to fill the children's baskets and refreshments for all. A huge thank you to the Gund Foundation, Halo Farms, Just Born, Inc. (Peeps), Masterfoods MARS USA, Wild Republic (a division of K&M International), Main Street Catering, McCaffrey's Market, parishioners of St. Paul's Church in Princeton, Pennington Quality Market, Rich Frog, Shell, ShopRite and Stop&Shop.
