CLEARLAKE, Calif. – On Thursday, March 24, the Clear Lake Associated Students from Lake County Campus of Woodland Community College hosted its inaugural Easter egg hunt.

More than 40 young children took part in the festivities, including children of students attending college classes as well as preschoolers from the campus Child Development Center.

They were eager to pick up as many of the 500 eggs spread across the main campus lawn as their baskets could hold.

After the egg hunt and a healthy dose of chocolate and candy, the children were able to take part in three separate crafts.

In one area, the children could dye Easter eggs. Another table contained Easter-related drawings for the children to color. The last activity encouraged the students to paste cotton balls on paper to create a bunny rabbit face.

The children and parents together greatly enjoyed the event as it was a great success in offering a community activity for the youth on Lake County Campus

“This was our first Easter Egg Hunt event, and it will not be our last,” said Rebecca Guerrero, chair of the event committee.

The Associated Students organization is grateful for the community support of the event.

Walmart donated many of the materials used for the craft tables as well the candy and chocolate found in the Easter eggs.

The children loved the hands-on activities that were available and all went home with smiles on their faces.
