Weather holds out for Easter Egg Hunt..........





Saturday March 31st, we had our annual Easter Egg Hunt. With the weather being unpredictable, members gathered at Armstrong Park and waited for dark clouds to move on. Finally at 8:45 we decided it was time to scatter the eggs out. John went to change into costume and wait for the little ones to start coming in for pictures. At 9:10 we got our first little one and the crowd started to gather. The weather gods were kind to us and the day turned out to be a good one for the occasion. The club put out 8,000 eggs which is the most we have ever done. Each year it gets bigger and bigger, and that is good. It means that our clubs contributions are getting spread out to the people. It is nice to see familiar faces and new ones as well. This year we did keep some eggs back for those who missed the event. It takes only 3 minutes at the most to gather all of the eggs. We had winners for all but one basket. The Silver egg for the 8 to 10 yr old did not show up. Some one has taken the egg home and hopefully will get a hold of the Chamber or City and ask about it. If you get a call on this, get with either John or Christy as we have the basket. I want to thank everyone who helped and special thanks to Kathy Doty for her tremendous donated items for the baskets, John Davidson from the Police Department who donated some items for our baskets, Jim Meyer with the Community center for his donations, Lunar Bowl for their donations and Sonic for their donations again this year. Thank you for all of the nice gifts. Sheila did a great job with the pictures along with daughter Danni and Bob who took pictures. The winners that we did have were: Dave Muller of GV, Kyle Bradley of GV, Taylor Trask of Indep., Kyler Ginnings of BS and Ella Boyle of GV. I have included some pictures for you to view.
