RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2011-162 _ , accepting product and in-kind donations totaling sixty two thousand four hundred thirty-six dollars ($62,436) in support of the 201 1 Eggstravaganza Spring Festival special event. ITEM EXPLANATION: On Saturday, April 23rd, the Parks & Recreation Department hosted the annual Eggstravaganza Spring Festival event at Poinsettia Park from 10:00 a.m. to 1 :00 p.m. Eggstravaganza was a huge success with more than 3,000 attendees enjoying a safe and fun spring celebration at Poinsettia Park. Kids participated in an egg scramble on the ball fields, collecting as many candy-filled eggs as they could in the time allotted. They had a chance to meet the Easter Bunny for a photo or to soak him at the Balloon Burst. Also, children and parents had the opportunity to sample and sign up for the various Parks & Recreation Department summer camps and classes. Thanks to generous donations from several local businesses, children were eligible to win Legoland tickets to the new Sea Life Aquarium, K-1 Speed races, Adventure Cut haircuts, and many other cool prizes in the Crazy Egg at the spin wheel. Additionally, Home Depot donated spring craft making materials that were free to all participants. Donations received totaled $62,436 from local businesses. Attached is a detailed list of the businesses and their donations (Exhibit 2). Letters of appreciation have been sent on behalf of the Parks & Recreation Department and the City of Carlsbad to all donor organizations.
