The spirit of community and joy was on full display at the 38th Annual Easter Egg Hunt hosted by the C.H.I.L.D. Ahead Project in Kosciusko. With the help of dedicated volunteers and generous donors, this cherished tradition brought smiles to the faces of children and families across the area.
A total of 180 colorful eggs were hidden throughout the event grounds, each one offering a moment of fun and anticipation for the many enthusiastic egg hunters. In a special twist, 50 lucky participants walked away with extra surprises, including Bibles, coloring books, small toys, and even bicycles.
This year’s event was made possible thanks to the ongoing support of community members and sponsors. Special recognition goes to Mr. and Mrs. Ron Winter and Mr. and Mrs. Greg Collins for their continued generosity in donating eggs.
The success of the event also relied on the kindness of a host of other donors, including:
