Saturday, March 31, 2018 the Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) youth program organized its second annual Boys and Girls Group Easter Egg Hunt in Park Manson located in the town of Mansonville. Sarah Jersey (CABMN Youth and Volunteer Coordinator) was on the scene bright and early with volunteers who helped the Easter Bunny in hiding over a thousand eggs throughout the park. Children began arriving around 10:30 with their parents and quickly lined up along the taped barrier waiting for the hunt to begin. Thanks to donations, not only were there an abundance of eggs to find but also special golden ones that assured those who had a keen eye a special prize if found and handed in. Donations from Giant Tiger, Richelieu (Jacques Ducharme), Virgin Hill Coffee, Students Against Destructive Decisions(SADD Mansonville), and FamiliPrix added so much to the event. “With the wonderful companies and groups who sponsor the event, we are able to not only provide a special Easter Egg Hunt but we can also furnish refreshments and fun for the whole family,” explained Jersey. With the sun shining on Saturday, children ran eagerly through the park laughing and sharing their treasures while the parents sipped a hot cuppa Virgin Hill coffee to keep warm. Juices awaited the thirsty group of searchers thanks to Epicerie Richelieu at the hunts end. Volunteers, Martha Barnes and Laurie Ball were on hand with face painting and most of the children who attended were happy to have the first signs of spring added to their cheeks in bright spring colors; flowers, bunny rabbits, Easter eggs and butterflies.
