BUFFALO TRACE DISTILLERY AND FRANKFORT PARKS AND RECREATION TO HOST 21^st ANNUAL EASTER EVENT

Registration is required for participation in complimentary event

FRANKFORT, Franklin County, Ky (Feb. 26, 2020) – Buffalo Trace Distillery and the City of Frankfort Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites is egg-cited to host its 21^st annual Easter event this April. “Easter at the Trace” is a festival-like event, comprised of music, refreshments and other Easter activities, including photos with the Easter Bunny.

Among these activities, children ages 0-11 are invited to participate in this year’s updated egg hunt, with a different format from previous years’ hunts.  This year’s egg hunt will be scavenger-hunt style. To participate, children will collect eggs from five different festive stations, and receive stamps on their hunt card. In addition to the eggs collected from the stations, participants will receive a special prize egg in exchange for the completed stamped hunt card. This updated format is a fun, safe alternative to traditional egg hunts, and means there are no age-specific hunt times, and lots of treats to go around.

This relaxed family event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 5 in the Buffalo Trace Distillery gardens.

Registration for Easter at the Trace is complimentary and begins March 5.
