Easter Day is a time for celebration, and a huge party was held at Louis Anderson Park on Sunday for the occasion. Sponsored by a new group called Men of Character, the Easter Egg Hunt and neighborhood party was organized for families — especially children — to have a fun afternoon.
Highlight of the day was the Easter egg hunt; with dozens of eggs hidden among the trees and grass at the park, kids had to search carefully to find them. Most were filled with candy but a handful of special golden eggs held a cash treasure for the lucky few who found them.
