Easter comes early to Alexander

The Easter Bunny came early to Alexander. Thanks to the Alexander American Legion Post 28, children were given a one-day head start on receiving the usual fare of Easter goodies. Most of the eggs were filled with the usual candy, but there was the occasional cash surprise.

The Easter Egg hunt was held at the Post on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. The children were divided into groups by age. Children ages one to three went first followed by those who were four to ten.

When arriving children were greeted by members of the Alexander

Fire/Rescue Department and Police Department with fire helmets,

coloring books and other assorted goodies.

City vehicles were on-hand for viewing.

Easter Bunny, but he does know how to distribute

Easter Eggs effortlessly.

The sun was shining and the wind kept the flags fluttering.

With some help the one to three year olds went first.

Then the four to ten year olds cleaned up.
