Delta Lions Easter Egg Hunt

The weather for the annual Delta Lions Easter Egg Hunt was warm and sunny. Several members of the Delta Youth Court helped the Delta Lions to hide the eggs in record time.

The members of FCCLA (Family, Career & Community Leaders of America) and their advisor Ilene Jurgens donated several dozen colored eggs for the hunt. The Delta Lions colored 60 dozen regular eggs. There were also plastic eggs with quarters in them that rattled nicely. And then there was one special plastic egg with bunny ears for each group of egg hunters. The children who found these special eggs turned them in to the Lions and received Easter baskets as prizes.

Congratulations to these sharp-eyed egg hunters! Preschool with helper 2-year-old Leann Shautt; preschool without helper 4-1/2-year-old Jakob Shautt. Vickie and Dana Shautt are the parents of both Leann and Jakob. Proud grandparents are Stormie and Butch Mitchell.

Winner of the Kindergarten group was 5-year-old Samantha Jones. Her parents are James Jones and Tammi Canada. The first grade winner was Corey Youngberg (7 years old). His parents are Minzell Youngberg and Mark Chaney.

Thomas Carlo (8 years old) won the special prize in the second grade group. His parents are Billy and Ricki Carlo. The winning third grader was Kika Kaui (9 years old). Her parents are Randy and Erin Kaui.

The Delta Lions extend thanks to the FCCLA and the DYC members for their help with the egg hunt. Appreciation also goes to all the parents and community members who came to the hunt and participated. Thank you for being considerate of all the other egg hunters.

The Delta Lions have some revisions in mind for next year's Easter Egg Hunt to make it even more fun for those who participate. See you next year as the Easter bunny hops through Delta.

From left to right the winners of the Easter baskets filled with goodies are: Corey Youngberg, Thomas Carlo, Jakob Shautt, Kika Kaui (behind Jakob), Leann Shautt (with dad, Dana), and Samantha Jones. The Delta Lions thanks all of the egghunters for their participation and the youth groups (FCCLA and DYC) for their help. Photo by Ann Geise
