Hunting for Eggs in the Snow
Despite the weather, the Fairgrounds in Grace were packed with egg hunters
Another year of odd weather, and another Easter egg hunt in full coats and boots. As Caribou County kids and their parents lined up at one of several Easter egg hunts, it was hard not to notice the distinct lack of…springness in the air. A look at the forecast shows that had this Easter fallen on a more typical mid to late April Sunday, things might have been all around less frozen, and in fact, even a few days would have made a big difference. Easter Egg hunts in Bancroft, Soda Springs, and Grace proceeded apace, however, as snow is no barrier to candy in the eyes of kids. At least one of the traditional Easter outdoor events, the Sunrise Service hosted by Soda Springs’ Presbyterian Church, was canceled as a result of the weather, though standard Easter services were held as planned indoors.
While the Easter Egg hunt itself may have been a snowy affair, the Easter week was busy and full, with activities underway throughout the valley. The Soda Springs Stake hosted its first ever Easter Walk, in which visitors visited a number of stations retelling the story of the Easter Holy week (story on page 2). The Soda Springs High School performance of Spamalot opened for an entertaining run (story on page 5). Fish and Game hosted a Hunter’s Safety Course, which gave local kids the chance to become certified, and allowed them an in-person experience for doing so rather than the online alternative (story on page 4). Grace students toured the Wastewater treatment facility, and had the chance to meet with ISU’s technical college (story on page 4). A large cornhole tournament was held in support of SSHS teacher Jennifer Collins (story to come next week after winners are announced).
Of course, many other events happened over the week that we weren’t able to get to.
