We were π£ βEggstaticβ π£ over the response to our first annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Eveleth Community Center today! We never dreamed of having the turnout we had; we stopped counting when we hit 400 people only 40 minutes into the event. In all, about 750 community members showed up in full force, all decked out in spring colors πΈπΌπΊ, bunny ears, and goofy glasses π€.
Even though we ran short on supplies π’, we loved seeing people chatting with their neighbors, kids running around with new found friends, and a community happy to just be together.
An πENORMOUSπ thank you to Eveleth Elks Lodge #1161 for their donation towards this event, to Evelethβs own Pop Goes the Cookie for donating 100 cake pops, to the sweetest girls ~ Miss Eveleth and the Miss Eveleth first runner-up ~ for their presence, smiles and hard work, and to our staff on Eveleth EMS and those hard-working peeps at the Eveleth Community Center for graciously volunteering their time!
Lastly, a huge thank you to all of the kids and adults who showed us kindness and grace as we scrambled to keep up with hiding more (and More and MORE!) eggs, and tried our hardest to make sure every kid went home with at least some new crayons, a coloring book, an EMS bracelet, or some type of goody. Most importantly, we hope everyone went home with a smile and some warmth in their hearts knowing we belong to a community that truly cares for one another. π₯°
We look forward to holding another Easter Egg Hunt next year with even more fun surprises and a LOT more candy! π¬ππͺ
