The Arcola Fair and Stampede Society (Arcola Fair Board) was aided by the Arcola Girl Guides in hosting a free Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 15, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Arcola Fair Grounds.
There were a total of 500 eggs to find and three golden eggs within each age division (five and under, 6-10, and 11 and older) were hidden for bigger prizes. A total of 100 treat bags were given out during the day.
Chris Davis brought live bunnies which was extremely popular with all age groups. We had an adult dressed up as an Easter Bunny and they posed for many pictures.
Additionally the girl guides had a bake sale, raffle, cookies, and various carnival games set up for those attending to enjoy.
“It was awesome!” exclaimed Monika Galloway with the Arcola Fair Board. “It was so well attended and we’re very happy with how the day went.”
“The fair board had the newly updated exhibition fair book available for people to pick up,” Monika Galloway explained. “Our hope was they can see what exhibits are available to enter in (hoping that people will start make crafts, etc…) to enter in the fair.”
She encourages people to start thinking of what they can craft or bake this July long weekend during the Antique Ag Daze.
The Arcola Fair Board and the Arcola Girl Guides are appreciative of the community’s support in hosting the event.
