On Saturday, April 16th, the Laingbsurg Lions Club hosted their first Easter Egg Hunt at Bates Scout Park. One hundred fifty kids took part in the first time event. The kids searched for candy filled eggs hidden in the park. Once the kids found 12 eggs, they returned them to event organizer Ed Arthur who in turn gave each child their choice of a stuffed bunny or solid chocolate bunny. Kids also found “Golden Eggs” during the hunt that were filled with cash. “We were very happy with the turnout for our first Easter event and look forward to a bigger event next year,” explained Arthur.
