Ages 1-3: Scarlet Bangel and Elias Mershon; Ages 4-6: Adley Thompson and Zack Larson; Ages 6-10: Mariella McCellan and Grant Feikert
The winner of a "pool party" from the La Harpe Swimming Pool was Taylor Shumaker.
Other winners for "pick the prize of your choice" drawing (which included donations from the Coffee Corner, Tink's Cafe, pool passes, and various Easter baskets) were Chloe Cutsinger, Grady Cramer, Shelby Schnaufer, Brinley Pence, Tyson McKay, Wyatt Blythe, Aubrey Smith, and Palen Lord.
