The Manhattan Lions Club hosted their annual Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning at City Park.
Local children ages 2-8 collected easter eggs hidden around various locations within the park.
Leila Gillespie has been a Manhattan Lions Club member for over 20 years, and says the Easter egg hunt tradition is a long-standing one.
“This has been going on for the Manhattan lions since back in the days when they used to boil the eggs and color them and so on. Probably at least 50 years ago and we do it every year. It’s something we delight in. ”
The Easter Bunny even made an appearance for photo opportunities and hugs.
“It’s extra special having the Easter Bunny here, it’s a crowd favorite every year for the kids,” said Gillespie.
The MHK Lions club teams up with local volunteers every year in order to put on the event.
The group will sponsor a Highway K18 trash pickup on April 13th.
