The Hamel Lions Club hosted its annual Easter egg hunt Saturday, April 16, at the Hamel Community Center. The event hosted activities like meeting the Easter Bunny and playing in the bouncy house started at 11 a.m. The egg hunt was supposed to start at 12:15 p.m. sharp, but the hunt started prematurely though when a child started running for the eggs that were just being scattered around noon, forcing the crowd of kids to follow suit for the eggs. The egg hunt was over around 12:15 p.m.

It did not matter though how many plastic eggs the kids found it. The kids lined up to turn them in for a goody bag full of candy and treats. The kids who found a wooden or a golden egg were able to go inside the community center for larger prizes.Â

Kids were able to grab the scattered eggs as the volunteers continued scattering the rest of the eggs around the field.
Kids were meant to line up with their ages groups from 0 to 10-years-old before the premature start, but all ages groups soon became mixed together as they all ran at once for eggs.

Kids who found the golden eggs or wooden eggs were allowed to choose from larger prizes like toys, scooters, stuffed animals and baskets filled with candy and treats.
At 11 a.m. the festivities started with games for all ages like cornhole and a chance to take photos with the Easter bunny.
