Getting ready for Easter!

The kids charging for the eggs, last year for Easter.
Are you ready for this year’s Easter Egg Hunt? Here’s what we do each year, from Susan Risser (there are photos from last year’s hunt in the “Galleries” in the column to the right):
The annual Easter egg hunt put on by the Friday Harbor Firefighters will by held at Jackson’s Beach again this year.
The beach will be divided into age groups: 0-3,4-6,7-9,10-12.
There will be almost 2,000 colored eggs hidden in the roped off areas, as well as plastic eggs colored according to age group. To redeem prizes, children are asked to take no more than two plastic eggs from their age group to the appropriate prize box by the fire trucks, where they will exchange the plastic eggs for prizes.
The price for this annual event is a can of food for the Food Bank. There will be boxes for the food near the prize tables on the beach.
For any children who would like to help with the industrial job of dying the eggs, there will be 5 gallon buckets of dyed water ready to dye the eggs at the Friday Harbor Fire Station. The coloring party will be at 5:30 PM on
Friday, April 10. It usually only takes about an hour.
On Easter Sunday, children should be lined up behind the rope in their age groups, ready to go, when the fire trucks blow the air horns at 1:00 P.M.
