Although it is unclear where exactly the egg hunt tradition stems from, eggs and bunnies are symbolic of spring and rebirth. Birds tend to lay their eggs in the spring, and rabbits are very fertile animals whose babies are known to scurry about this time of year.

Just as these symbols have turned into tradition, the Timbers’ egg hunt has become a highly-attended and anticipated event within the community.

“We had another phenomenal turnout for the egg hunt this year,” said Faith Varga, executive director of The Timbers. “Everyone really enjoyed themselves and our seniors just love sharing these moments with their community.”

The Timbers of Shorewood is a rental retirement community which provides independent and assisted living apartments and a full schedule of activities and services. Furnished apartments are also available for a short-term stay - a weekend, a week, a month or longer.

The egg hunt event is free and open to the public. For more information call 815-609-0669 or visit http://www.timbersofshorewood.com.
