Geyers UMC to present annual Easter egg hunt
CLEARANCE
EVENT
BY FRANCINE FULTON
eyers United Methodist Church (UMC) will hold its annual community Easter egg hunt on Palm Sunday, April 2, at 1 p.m. The event, which will also include lunch and children’s activities, is free and open to the public and will be held rain or shine. Karen Wise, Geyers UMC Children’s Club coordinator, said that local children and their families look forward to the event each year. “We have been doing this for more 20 years,” she said. “They watch the (Greater Hershey Community) Courier for news of the egg hunt. Last year, we had around 300 (participants).” In preparation for the event, between 4,000 and 4,500 eggs will be scattered across the church lawn. Children age 13 and under are invited to bring their baskets to collect them. “We want to make sure that kids get eight, 10 or a dozen eggs (each). We ask them to return the eggs after the hunt so we can use them for next year,” Wise explained. “The youth of our church and Boy Scouts from Troop 97 in Londonderry Township do most of the placing of the eggs on the morning of Palm Sunday.” Each egg in the hunt will be filled with candy or a small toy. “A group of about 10 volunteers from the church who are older people enjoy filling the eggs,” said Wise.
