The egg hunt was on at Eston museum

Eston’s museum was alive with the chatter of children on Saturday afternoon when kids of all ages arrived for the museum’s third annual Easter egg hunt on March 28. Jenny Pittman from the museum said the afternoon started off with bag decorating and face painting.

“The hunt was broken up into three groups and hosted in different areas of the museum,” she explained. Children were grouped according to their age: four and under, five to seven, and eight to 10. Each group had more than 300 eggs to hunt for. Older youth in the community volunteered to help hide the eggs before the hunt began.
This year, the museum received a grant from Sask Lotteries’ Community Grant Program to cover the cost of the prizes. Community members also donated toward draw baskets filled with fun summer activities for kids.
The afternoon was a great way to begin the Easter holiday celebrations, thanks to the efforts of the Prairie West Historical Society.
