Easter hunt is a success!

 
Lions Steve Calhoun and Dennis Deitch chat while parking cars at Raab Park Saturday, April 4, for the annual city Easter Candy Hunt.

 
Dennis D. and a city worker keep the cars moving.
 
 
Patrick Osler headed up the Lions committee.

 
Leo the Lion (Ginger Shields) was on hand to high 5 those kids who weren't afraid of her.

 
Many kids were thrilled!
 
 
Our club provided $500 in candy and prizes.

 
Here is one of the "bunnies" tossing candy onto the grass in the 1- and 2-year-old section.

 
Since the kids were so young, parents and other family members were invited to help out.
 
 
We had princesses on hand to brighten up the day.

Organized chaos.

 
Some kids understood they should put the candy and eggs in their baskets. Others did not.

 
A dad holds open his son's bag. The kids were definitely not hurrying.

 

If a child had an egg, he or she could either 1) keep it, or 2) turn it in for a prize from this bin.
