The Burlington County Spring Resource Fair and Egg Hunt will be held on Saturday, April 12. The event features sensory-friendly egg hunts and other games, food, displays and information tables.
Spring is here and children with varying abilities can enjoy plenty of seasonal fun at this year’s Burlington County Spring Resource Fair and Egg Hunt.
The annual event is being held at the Burlington County Special Services School from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 12. Come out for sensory-friendly egg hunts and other games, music, food, touch-a-truck displays, plus information from dozens of vendors, agencies and service providers.
The event is sponsored and organized by the Burlington County Sheriff’s Office, Burlington County Special Services School District and Burlington County Commissioners. It is one of the largest and most popular events of its kind in South Jersey.
Among the services residents can learn about is the Sheriff’s Office’s new upgraded locator technology, AngelSense. The service allows the Sheriff’s Office and participating police departments to track and locate vulnerable residents, including children with developmental disabilities, and adults with dementia or Alzheimer’s.
The update was funded with a $150,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice.
In addition to the egg hunts and other games, children can also enjoy the Special Services School’s inclusive playground with barrier-free equipment, including adaptive swings, sensory-friendly playhouses, slides and more.
The playground was funded through a special cost-share agreement between the school district and Burlington County Commissioners. It is open to the public when school is not in session.
