Area Easter egg hunts set

Two Easter egg hunts in surrounding communities have been scheduled prior to Easter Sunday.

First, Ollie Baptist Church will host its annual Easter egg hunt from 1-3 p.m. Saturday at Ollie Park.

In addition to the egg hunt, there will be a bag toss, pin the tail on the rabbit, cake walk, face painting and numerous prizes at the Ollie Community Center. A treasure bag will be given to each child.

Children will again be divided by age to give a level field of hunting for the younger children. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Also, Good Samaritan Society will host its annual Easter egg hunt at 2 p.m. April 23 at its center at 819 Country Lane Road, Keosauqua.

The hunt is free and brought to the community by Good Samaritan Society, thanks to contributions from the Good Samaritan staff. Children ages 1 to 11 years old are invited.

Participants are asked to arrive at the hunt on time and bring a basket; adults are encouraged to check their children?s eggs to make sure candy is age appropriate.
