Arvada Youngsters Enjoy Easter Egg Hunt

A warm, sunny day greeted around 15 youngsters as well as the Easter Bunny at the Arvada Women’s Club annual Easter Egg hunt on Friday, April 7. The hunt was held on the grounds of the Arvada Community Center and the old brick gym.

Youngsters up to 12 years old turned out the hunt for the 440 eggs that the members of the Arvada’s Women’s Club filled with candy. Some of the eggs also included slips of paper that that could be turned in for prizes or coins.

Members of the Women’s Club donated the prizes, eggs and candy, and each year they donate a $500 scholarship to a graduate of Arvada-Clearmont High School.

‎Dolly Arndt, president of the women’s club, said the hunt has been going on for many years, and they have anywhere from 8 to 30 kids.

The Easter Bunny was agreeable to photos, but since Easter Bunnies don’t talk, he did not give an interview.
