Despite the snow and cold the Easter Bunny hopped…or slid… into Plainview on Saturday for the FCCLA Community Easter Egg Hunt.
Close to 1000 eggs were scattered and hid for the 80 plus excited children. The front of the Plainview Elementary School, Bandshell Park, and Elementary playground were egg covered and ready for children to be turned loose.
Children took off crunching in the snow, and perhaps slipped a bit, as they scrambled to get as many eggs as they could.
After emptying their eggs, so they could be used next year, all children were able to select a Hog Wash juice drink along with a prize. The candy for the hunt was donated by CASH-WA while Mahaska provided the drinks. FCCLA had purchased a variety of toy prizes for the children to select from.
The day was deemed successful based on the smiling faces of the children and laughter being heard. “I was worried about the turnout due to the snow and cold. But the sun came out, the wind was low, and kids were dressed for the weather. It didn’t seem to bother them. Thanks to the parents for bringing the kids in.” stated Ronita Jacobsen FCCLA Adviser. “FCCLA Members enjoyed being able to do this again for the children in our community. We appreciate the donations which helped to make a successful day.”
