All Your Eggs Are Belong To Us!
An annual event in our town on Easter Sunday is the great Egg Hunt Race, and the kids really look forward to it because everyone’s a winner.
Sponsored by a local chocolatier, this is the 18th year for the event. The downtown’s main street is closed to traffic, and the children are divided into age groups and must race down the street to where coloured, egg-shaped rocks have been placed.
Once the children find a rock with their age written on it, they trade it in for a generous bag of candy—which includes some very nice hand-made chocolates. Certain bags contain a prize that entitles the child to a large chocolate Easter Bunny as well, and our daughter received one of the special bags this year—like she needed any help in the hyperactivity department! You may be asking yourself why my kid isn’t wearing a coat, since it’s only about 12 degrees Celsius…apparently, not only is it not pink, but it slows her down.
We feel really fortunate to live in a community that cares so much for its future. I hope everyone had as wonderful an Easter weekend as we did.
