Looking for something to do this Easter? The city of Auburn invites you to grab your peeps and join the search for elusive bunnies hiding around various parks and trails.
The annual Peter Cotton Trail event will start Friday, April 18, and go until Monday, April 21.
You can print out the Bunny Scorecard (PDF) or find your own way to track your bunnies.
Bunny Scorecards will also be available for pickup at these locations:
• Auburn Community & Event Center, 910 Ninth Street SE (available 24/7 in a pamphlet holder outside April 14 - April 21)
• Auburn Grocery Outlet, 102 Cross Street SE
• Nekter Juice Bar, 1408 Lake Tapps Pkwy SE
• Legendary Doughnuts, 1410 Lake Tapps Pkwy SE
• Red Canoe Credit Union,1620 Lake Tapps Pkwy SE Suite 101
• Downtown Auburn Cooperative, 262 E Main St
• Dave and Busters, 1101 Outlet Collection Way
• Sea Axe, 335 E Main St
Here’s an example of what the hidden bunnies will look like:
You will need to find at least ten bunnies to be eligible for a chance to win. In most cases, you will need to visit two or more parks to do so. Each bunny will have a unique number at the bottom. When you find a bunny, track the corresponding number on your scorecard or tracking device.
After finding ten bunnies, complete the online Bunny Scorecard Submission Form. The form will contain contact information and ten spaces to indicate the bunnies that you found. You can also share photos and comments.
The online scorecard will be available until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 21. Each person who participates must submit their own scorecard. Adults are welcome to play too! Duplicate entries will be deleted.
The city added a reminder, asking those who participate not to take or move the bunnies from their hiding spot. This allows everyone to enjoy the hunt, and bunnies remain safe from mowers and maintenance equipment.
