Easter Egg Hunts abound on Saturday

Several communities in the county will be having Easter Egg Hunts and activities this coming Saturday. Here is a listing.

Humboldt—The Humboldt-Dakota City Kiwanis Club has hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for more than 40 years. This year’s event will be Saturday, April 8, at 10 a.m., in the east parking lot at the Humboldt Recreation Center.
People attending are asked to park in the middle school and high school parking lots to allow for Center members to have parking space.
The event will kick off at 10 a.m. with preschool children, who may be accompanied by adults picking up candy. That will be followed by kindergarten and first graders at 10:10 a.m. and the second and third graders at 10:20 a.m.
There will be a special Easter basket for one lucky winner in each of the three age groups and a grand prize of a new bicycle for one winner from each of the age groups.
The Kiwanis Club thanks the local businesses who help provide the candy and prizes. Something new this year is that some of the businesses will have their special treats available at the Rec Center the day of the event. Participants will be given instructions on what to do to obtain their gifts.
There is usually a visit from a special guest with long ears and a fluffy tail.
