Chehalis tribal youth made a beeline for
treats and pictures with the Easter Bunny
during decades-old tradition.

HUNT

From page 1
“golden egg” with a ticket meant lucky
winners would receive an Easter basket.
Participants were about the chance to take
home a basket filled with sweets and a
basketball.
Anyone who has ever been a part of an
Easter egg hunt knows that it’s over in a
flash and it can get a little chaotic with
several children running around collecting
as many eggs as possible.
Ages 3 and younger were given first
crack at the eggs. Parents took pictures and
assisted some of the younger toddlers. A
few moments later, Tony released the next
group followed by the last age group. Some
children focused on grabbing as many eggs
as possible while others mainly looked for
golden eggs. The hunt was over quickly!
After everyone paused to catch their
breath, children lined up to meet the
Easter Bunny. Each child got a chocolate
bunny, stuffed animal and a picture.
Tony said a big part of the event is
“collecting memories of the kids taking
pictures with the Easter Bunny.” He said he
has photos of youngsters with the famous
fellow from more than 20 years ago.

Happy Easter everyone, from the elders
