Easter Egg Hunts APRIL 6-9 | SAN DIEGO ANIMAL SANCTUARY & FARM The San Diego Animal Sanctuary & Farm (formerly called the Children's Nature Retreat), a 20-acre farm in Alpine, invites the community to celebrate Easter with the animals and participate in one of four Easter Egg Hunts. The annual egg hunts are a tradition at the farm, and this year, there will be one hunt per day from Thursday, April 6 through Sunday, April 9. They'll begin at 11am each day, and more than 4,000 eggs will be filled with plush animals, toys, and candy, spread out across the farm. Attendees will have a chance to find one of three Golden Eggs with family passes (two adults, two children) each day. The farm's sweet bunnies will be there in their brand-new location. Lastly, the Easter Bunny will be there every day at 11am for pictures and cuddles. The San Diego Animal Sanctuary & Farm is home to more than 200 domesticated livestock and exotic animals. Most of the animals were pets who lost their homes due to their owner's illness, death, or financial difficulties. The Farm is open seven days a week from 10am-5pm. sandiegoanimalsanctuaryandfarm.org MEOW Lake is a 1-year-old, friendly Domestic Short Hair cat who is affectionate, oh-so-lov- able, and more than ready to find a home of her own.
