Hancock’s Lions Club and the Hancock United Methodist Church once again sponsored the annual Community Easter Egg Hunt in Widmeyer Park last Saturday, April 13. Sunny skies and warm temperatures brought out hundreds of participants and their families.
Children registered into one of three age groups and were given a chance to collect plastic Easter eggs filled with candy, dollar bills and prize tickets. Prize baskets, donated by local merchants, were handed out to five children in each age bracket. Organizers said 165 children registered for the event that morning.
Lions Club members placed 3,600 eggs across the lawn of Widmeyer Park.
