There were hundreds of colorful eggs ready to be plucked from the lawn as dozens of children and their families showed up for the egg-citing event on Thursday afternoon. The kids could also get their photo with the Easter Bunny before the egg hunt began.
There were three different age groups for the egg hunt on the wooded lawn, with kids 10 and under scrambling for eggs filled with treats and tickets for special prizes. The eggs were scooped up within a few minutes and everyone went home with lots of candy and prizes. Judging by the smiles, the children and residents enjoyed the annual community event.
The early spring-like weather drew some of the facility’s residents outdoors to watch the action, while some watched through the windows. Some residents were excited to be handing out special prizes. Murphy, the Winning Wheels facility dog, also received some extra loving attention.
“We had an awesome turnout!” said Administrator Sheila Huizenga. “We even had a couple little girls that came all the way from Australia.” The grand prize winners of the hunt were Koa, Jonah, and Andrew, who each received a special basket of Easter goodies.
