Another Easter has come and gone, though this one was significantly warmer than the last one.  During last year’s Easter egg hunt, a combination of snow and mud were still in place, leading to a less springlike holiday than might be hoped for.  While it was not overly warm this year, the sun was out and so were the kids looking for Easter eggs.  

Like last year, this year’s hunt was preceded by a Teen Scavenger Hunt.  The hunt itself also continued to feature an adjacent area for those interested in a calmer, lower stimulus  event.  

The Easter bunny was airlifted in for the start of the hunt, and met with kids before and after.

Edith’s Collective also hosted its own fun version of an Easter egg hunt, which gave participants a chance to flex their creative and problem-solving muscles (see page 3 for the story).   

In addition to the hunt, the weekend saw devotional services across the valley.  An Easter Sunrise service was sponsored by the Interfaith Council (see page 11 for details), and brought the community out to greet the day as it began.

As the Easter season comes to an end and the summer approaches, it can be hoped that the spirit that makes Easter such a wonderful time for families, neighbors, and communities remains in place.
