Veteran’s Park

Join us for perhaps the largest valentine swap in the world!  (Come and see if we are exaggerating) It's not required, but visit the BHC website to RSVP to give leadership an idea of all who will be there. Get creative with your valentine boxes.  There will be prizes awarded for the most creative ones! Please know that a simple box is fine for collecting a ton of greetings – no reason to not come due to lack of time to create a special box. Valentine boxes should be dropped off by 1:45 so that they are ready for valentine delivery and judging. Valentines may be delivered any time between 2:00-2:45. Please prepare at least 50 valentines to deliver! If you want to create more, that’s fine; we’ve found that 50 is about right in order to have plenty to give out. Lawn chairs and picnic blankets are encouraged for visiting in the open area at this park.  Please be sensitive when bringing snacks for those who have severe allergies. If you win a prize for your valentine box, don’t forget to find a BHC representative to get a goody from our prize box.

Join us for a traditional Easter egg hunt as well as spring fun! Bring plastic eggs(with or without goodies inside) and baskets for the egg hunt, and bring a spring treat/drink to share. Teens and older students can help with egg hiding if they prefer. Dads often join us on this day too! Bring kites and sport equipment for free time. Hopefully, we will have beautiful weather, but we will meet rain or shine and hide eggs under the pavilion if needed! For those who haven’t joined us in the past, we do hide tickets in eggs to redeem for prizes after the egg hunt.  And here is our normal schedule: 1-1:30pm – Families arrive and drop off eggs at designated area. 1:30-2pm –  Teens/Dads hide eggs at a designated location while children play or eat. 2pm –  We gather in grade level groupings for the egg hunt, with preschool in front, then grades K-2, and grades 3-6 in back.  We usually cross the parking lot with our students to access the egg hunt area. After the egg hunt, students look through their collected eggs for tickets and goodies.  Empty eggs can be donated to BHC for use in the next year’s hunt, or you can take your collections home.  The tickets are numbered, and students will return to the pavilion with their tickets to claim their prizes. This is a monthly BHC group event, and we hope you will come and meet new friends.

Make plans to join us for this huge potluck event.  Bring something savory, something sweet, and a drink to share. More Info
