Three Easter egg hunts this week

After kicking off the annual Easter egg hunts last weekend in Ritzville and Ralston, the fun continues in Lind, Washtucna and Ritzville this week. Children are invited to grab their baskets and continue the search for Easter eggs at three hunts.

The Life Care Center of Ritzville is hosting an Easter egg hunt on Friday, April 18, and begins at 10 a.m. for children six and under. Children should bring their own basket to collect eggs and snacks are provided at the event.

The hunt also provides an opportunity for adults and children to pet baby animals of all different sizes. The Easter bunny also plans to make a special appearance at the event.
