Photofeature: Egg Stuffing Volunteers Make Easter Egg Hunt Possible for Local Kids

Susanville’s annual Community Easter Egg hunt will be held next Saturday, April 19th, at the Lassen County Fairgrounds with lots of candy-filled eggs thanks to some wonderful volunteers who spent Wednesday afternoon at the fairgrounds stuffing the plastic eggs.

Around 70 volunteers came to help stuff the 12,000 eggs that will be strewn about the fairgrounds’ lawn on the morning of the hunt.

Thanks to our volunteers from Lassen County 4-H, Susanville Future Farmers of America, LHS Drill Team, Junior Fair Board, Eskaton Lassen Manor, FBLA, Lassen High ASB, the Lassen County Fair staff, Calliope Rose, Lassen County royalty Julienne Bennett and Lily Ammon and several really nice families and individuals who showed up.

Thank you to everybody for your help!

The Easter Egg Hunt will be held Saturday, April 19th, at the Lassen County Fairgrounds! Kids from Susanville and the surrounding area are welcome to bring their Easter baskets to hunt for candy-filled Easter eggs!

The gates open at 8:30a.m., and groups start at 9:00 with a different age group starting every 10 minutes.

• 9:00 for Under 2

The Easter Bunny will be at the fairgrounds so bring your cameras for a photo opportunity.

The egg hunt will feature a special session for Children with Special Capabilities. This session will be held inside in a calmer environment.
