Over the weekend, Kearny, Hayden and Winkelman hosted a few family-friendly events to celebrate the holiday.
In recent tradition, Winkelman hosted their annual Easter weekend camp-out at the Winkelman Flats. Families from all over come and spend the weekend down by the gorgeous Gila River and spend quality time with their families with events that have been planned over the weekend including music, food, and vendors.
Town of Kearny hosted their annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Kearny Little League Softball Field. A few changes to this year’s egg hunt. Instead of taking place in the morning, this event took place Friday evening. Why? Because some of the eggs were glowing! The town handed out free hot dogs and chips. Confetti eggs were sold so members of the community could smash the eggs on the heads of Event Coordinator Terrece Flowers, council members Arnold Mariscal Jr. and Christian Rios, and Town Manager Tyler Bingham. The town had a total of 51 prizes that were also handed out, including bikes and baskets, that were donated by local businesses. Also in attendance was Giddy Up Sweets and Treats and SnowieTown serving up yummy snacks. And of course, you can’t forget an appearance from the Easter Bunny himself!
Saturday morning, Town of Hayden also hosted their annual Easter Egg Hunt. This celebration had eggs stretched throughout the entire park and Library Lawn. Some Eggs also held tickets to prizes such as bikes donated by Clements Water and Easter Baskets donated by Ultimate Welding. A hotdog lunch was provided by the Hayden Fire Department. They also had games and a water balloon fight. The Easter Bunny was set up at the library taking pictures with the kiddos. He also walked around handing out confetti eggs to the kids and smashed a few on some unsuspecting heads.
Throughout the community’s fun was had by kids of all ages and it was so much fun to see all the smiling faces. Thank you for each town for throwing the events, all the businesses for their donations, volunteers for their time, and all of you for coming out to make this Easter memorable for the kids to cherish for years to come!
