What is the Mad Hatter contest? Do you dress up like the Mad Hatter or is it a hat contest? What are the specifics?
Hi Tara,
The Mad Hatter contest is an event in which participants create and decorate a hat, and the best decorated hat wins.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY “SPECIAL POPULATION”
THANKS
Hi Patricia,
The “special population” group is typically comprised of children with special needs and may include individuals who require special assistance for medical or mental disabilities. If you need answers to specific questions, please call the event organizers at (770) 528-8853.
Is this event really crowded? What kind of petting zoo and carnival rides are there?
Hi Lindsay,
We don’t have specifics on that stuff, but you could call the event organizers at (770) 528-8853 for more information. I would expect that there will be quite a few people there, so if you are looking for an event with a smaller crowd, you could check out the Marietta Easter Egg Hunt at Laurel Park tonight (3/26/2010) or the Annual Egg Hunt at East Cobb Park tomorrow (3/27/2010). Check the Marietta.com Calendar of Events for more information. Also, there are Easter Egg hunts in neighboring Acworth and Kennesaw tomorrow. Check out Acworth.com and Kennesaw.com for more information about those egg hunts.
Is there a charge to get in or to park?
Hi Kiki,
No, parking and admission are free.
i would like to bring my infant to get a picture with the easter bunny? do you know if it is “infant friendly”?
Hi Shannon,
Definitely. Just don’t get in between the kids and the eggs
.
Will this take place if the rain comes through or will they reschedule I’m excited and weather channel says rain! Got my son an outfit and everything!!!!!
Hi Ness,
We just spoke to the event organizer and there is no rain date for the 2011 hunt. If the event is cancelled due to weather, it will not be rescheduled this year.
For the Mad Hatter & Easter Basket contests, do we bring our own, already decorated hats/baskets or do you provide the items? Is there a charge for these?
What are the details of the fashion show?
Hi Mary,
We just spoke with the event organizer and yes, you bring your own decorated hat and/or basket to enter into the contest.
In the fashion show, the kids that would like to participate simply walk across the stage in their “Sunday Best” and then a winner is chosen.
When is going to be the egg hunt? Since it is raining now I am guessing is going to be cancel for tomorrow
