The East Grampians Health Service Ark Toy and Activity Library volunteers are looking forward to welcoming pre-schoolers to their annual Easter Egg Hunt, which is held in the picturesque Alexandra Gardens.

Toy Library Auxiliary president Kaye Chamings said the Easter Egg Hunt raises funds to purchase new toys and equipment for the Toy library, but more importantly it was a great community event.

"We love seeing the excitement of all the children as they search for Easter eggs in the gardens," she said.

"It's a wonderful event for the community and a great way for parents and carers to meet other families."
