Sunshine & Smiles: Our Community Egg Hunt Brings Spring Joy to Paris

Our annual Easter egg hunt was a wonderful success this year with over 50 families joining us for a morning of fun and excitement. We organized the children into two age groups - the "Bunnies" (ages 0-5) and the "Hoppers" (ages 6+) - to ensure everyone had a fair chance at finding eggs appropriate for their age.

The hunt began promptly at 10:45am, with eager children lined up at the starting line, baskets in hand and excitement bubbling over. When the Easter Bunny said "Go!", they scattered across their designated areas, searching behind trees, under bushes, and around the grounds for colorful chocolate eggs and bonbons.

A highlight of the day was our special guest – the Easter Bunny! Families lined up for the opportunity to take photos with the fluffy visitor, who patiently posed with children of all ages. Several little ones were so excited to meet the Easter Bunny and only a few were scared of their new friend.

Our team of dedicated volunteers deserves special recognition for making the event run so smoothly this year. Those who planned the event, pre-purchased eggs and arrived early to hide over the bounty of chocolate eggs in the park. They helped direct families to the correct areas and assisted younger children who needed a little extra help spotting eggs. At the start of the event, every child received a chocolate egg to ensure that everyone left with a little treat. The planning team and our group of volunteer's thoughtful enthusiasm and organization were key to this year's Egg Hunt success!

After the hunt concluded, families spread blankets across the park for picnics. The beautiful spring weather provided the perfect backdrop as parents chatted while children compared their treasures and played together.

This community tradition continues to bring neighbors together each spring, creating memories that will last throughout the year. We look forward to seeing everyone next year for what has become one of our most treasured community events! Mark your calendars and bring your baskets – the Easter Bunny has already promised to return!

Special thanks to our volunteers! See you next year!
