Eggs galore — 18,000 of them to be exact —along with balloons, face painting, cookies, and punch. That’s what this year’s SPJST Easter Eggstravaganza was all about. The event began with a warm-up, conducted by Fran from Jazzercise on the SPJST Float. Then, everyone lined up for the big egg hunt — which
lasted less than five minutes! Many lucky participants also found prize eggs which were redeemed for toys and gifts. Special guests were the Easter Bunny and Orel the Eagle, both of whom greeted everyone with hugs and SPJST clappers. Thanks to those who assisted with the successful event.
