WEEKEND: Easter egg hunt Saturday in Forks is for the grown-ups only

FORKS — Not all Easter egg hunts are for children.

Adults will get their chance to go after prize-filled Easter eggs at 6 p.m. Saturday at Blakeslee’s Bar and Grill, 1222 S. Forks Ave.

They will search for 300 plastic eggs, each with a prize, scattered through a taped-off area adjacent to the restaurant, co-owner Donna Blakeslee said.

“I miss going to Easter egg hunts, so I am playing this year,” said Blakeslee, who came up with the idea for the inaugural adult hunt after a family member attended a similar hunt elsewhere.

In one egg is a $50 grand prize. Other eggs contain gift certificates, coupons and gift cards to Forks-area businesses, as well as candy, key chains and other adult items, Blakeslee said.

Head-start

Each egg hunter who drinks a shot of liquor before taking part in the event will be given a two-second head-start per shot.

The egg hunt is free — but the liquor is not. Prices will depend on the alcohol purchased.

There will be a limit of shots that will be allowed before the hunt, Blakeslee said, but that limit had not yet been determined.

Participants must be 21 or older and sign a waiver. They are asked to bring their own baskets.

For more information, phone 360-374-5003.
