There was a crowd on the lawn of the Family and Child Resource Center in Manhattan Saturday morning. Julie Gibbs, Director of the Riley County Health Department explains.
Inside the building, families could explore the services available and receive free goodies, while the Easter Bunny was outside dropping eggs and candy all over their yard.
Ten-year-old Manhattan resident, Hana Alemie is one of the more than 400 residents who attended the new event.
Alemie, a Northview Elementary student, didn’t hunt for treats herself, instead choosing to help her eight-year-old brother and five-year-old sister.
Gibbs says she’s pleasantly surprised by the response of the community. The Easter Egg Hunt and Open House will now be an annual event.
