Easter egg hunt!

More than 200 community members made the hike to the Cedar Bay lakeshore on April 19 for a Family Easter Egg Hunt co-hosted by The Friends of Cedar Bay and 1st Sioux Lookout Beavers.

Beaver leader Nancy McCord (Sunshine) said this year’s hunt was the biggest yet, with Beavers and their families hiding over 1800 Easter eggs.

Drayton Cash and Carry donated 1000 eggs and discounted the candy bag treats children received for turning in their gathered eggs. Bonnie and Marvin Osmond donated approximately 500 eggs. Cedar Bay donated about 300 Easter eggs.

Three lucky winners who found specially marked eggs received a solid chocolate bunny.

McCord said 1st Sioux Lookout Beavers believes it is important to teach the Beavers about giving back to their community.

Friends of Cedar Bay chairperson Joyce Timpson said it was wonderful to see the enthusiasm of the young volunteers and fantastic to see so many people out visiting Cedar Bay.
