The field of colored eggs seemed endless. The hardest part was not getting cold hands and not falling through the hard crust of snow.

After collecting all the eggs, participants opened all the candy-filled eggs in hopes of finding a prize ticket. Twenty-five lucky participants in the three age groups got to pick out a new toy, stuffed animal or game. Everything was provided and purchased by the Lions Club for everyone to enjoy at no cost.
SEELEY LAKE – After holding an intervention between Frosty the Snowman and the Easter Bunny, the Seeley Lake Lions Club reached a resolution. While they were unable to get rid of the snow, the annual Easter Egg Hunt carried on as planned Saturday, March 31. The freezing and snow flurries did not stop the children from racing out into the snow covered field, punching through the hard snow crust and filling their baskets, buckets and bags as quickly as they could.
The Lions and Leo Club members filled 3,369 eggs with candy the day before. They spread the eggs in three areas split by age groups. Twenty-five lucky children in each age group also found a slip of paper in the eggs that they redeemed for a prize.
"It was a great turnout despite the weather," said Lion Ken Kronsperger.
Children ages 10-12 participated in a Treasure Hunt. This year the hunt was held at Mission Bible Fellowship instead of the Lions Club Park. Winners included: first place Chelsi Lyons; second place Logan Gillespie and Taylor Eckley and third place Abby, Aubrey & Katie Roff.
