La Harpe 2019 Easter Egg Hunt

by Becky Smith-The Quill

The La Harpe Annual Easter Egg Hunt was held on Saturday, April 20 at the La Harpe Club House. Over 2,300 eggs were hidden, with a designated hunting area, for three age groups.

Following the egg hunt, raffle drawings were held with lots of great prizes. The Easter bunny was also available for pictures before and after the event.

Easter basket winners for the "age-group" raffle drawing were:

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.

Grand Prize winners of a $50 Amazon gift card were Bryleigh Ellefritz and Weston Blythe. Sponsors for this year's event were La Harpe Park District, La Harpe Telephone Co., West Central FS, La Harpe Auto Body, and the Union Church.
