Egg Hunt 2009

Ruston's annual Easter Egg Hunt took place this morning. As usual, the "hunt" only last about 5 minutes. The median down Winnifred was divided into age groups so the little ones could get some eggs before they were gobbled up by the big kids.

Muffins and coffee were served by the ever-lovely Patti Hardin, Mayor Hopkins used the PA system in the fire truck to get things started and the police motorcycle lead the young procession down the street to each age-designated stash of eggs. It appeared a great time was had by all.

No town funds are used for this event. Donations can still be made by contacting Sherri Forch at sherri98407@aol.com and your empty plastic eggs can be dropped off at town hall this coming week.
