Easter Egg Hunt on Deltana Fairgrounds - Sunday

1:30 pm Sunday, March 23
by Lion Ann Geise

The annual Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the Delta Lions Club will be held on Easter Sunday, March 23, at the Deltana Fairgrounds on Nistler Road.

The big hunt for the eggs will begin at 1:30 pm on Easter Sunday. There will be lots of real eggs (about 15 dozen of them) and lots of plastic eggs with prizes inside. One special prize egg will be hidden for each of six age groups. When the prize egg with a note inside is turned in to one of the Delta Lions Club members, the finder wins a special prize. The winners of the special prizes will get their photos taken with their prizes – for publication in the Delta Wind and on the Delta News Web. We’ll be asking for names and ages of the winners and their parents’ names and perhaps grandparents’ names.

All local children from preschool age through third grade are welcome to hunt for the Easter eggs. The preschool group will be divided into two sections – one for preschoolers without helpers and another for younger preschoolers with helpers.

Hint: This is a great photo-op for parents, grandparents and other relatives and friends.

The 15 dozen real eggs will be boiled and colored at the Geise residence on Saturday, March 22, starting about 10 am. Delta Lions – call Ann Geise at 895-4466 or 347-6052 for more information. Delta Lions will hide eggs starting about 12:30 pm on Easter Sunday, March 23.

The winning tickets will be drawn for the Delta Lions Club Raffle after the conclusion of the Easter Egg Hunt. Tickets will be available for purchase until about 2 pm. Winners need not be present to win. The prizes are: a freezer with half a beef and half a pig (cut and wrapped by Delta Meat & Sausage); and a $500 gift certificate from Granite View Sports and Gifts.

Parents of egg-hunters: please do not arrive at the fairgrounds until at least 1:15 pm on Sunday to allow the Lions enough time to hide the eggs.
