Easter Egg Hunt

IMGP0004c

On Friday, April 11th,  SOCSA again hosted another successful Annual Easter Egg Hunt.  Parents, children and grandchildren who participated were fortunate that the rain predicted never showed up until later in the evening.

I arrived shortly before the hunt started and by my observation there must have been at least 2000 brightly colored eggs spread around the banks of both the swimming and fishing lakes.  (Guess the Easter chicken had a pretty busy day.)  At 6:00pm the hunt officially started and the young egg hunters took off scooping up the eggs with the same verocity as the deer in Shawnee Country attack the flowers we’ve planted.

IMGP0022cWithin an hour there was nary an egg to be found on the ground.  They had all been collected, and now were being opened in search of candy or prize tickets inside.  Those fortune enough to have prize tickets received chocolate bunnies and one grand prize of a giant chocolate bunny.

Our thanks to Mother Bunny, Lynn Finelli, and all the other assistant bunnies who helped.
