Approximately 50 children, ages 2 and up, participated in the event, eagerly searching for Easter eggs that had been thoughtfully hidden earlier that morning by the Boy Scouts of Troop 46. A special grassy area was designated for younger children, ensuring that even the smallest participants had a safe and enjoyable experience hunting for their own treasured eggs. Families gathered with excitement as the children were given the signal to begin the hunt, creating a joyful and memorable moment for all in attendance.

Following the egg hunt, attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared and served by the Hemet Kiwanis Club. Afterward, the eggs were counted, and the child who collected the most eggs was awarded the opportunity to choose a special Easter basket and toy to take home.

The spirit of the day was captured in the words of participating families. One parent shared, “Thank you all who helped and donated,” while another expressed, “Thank you! My kids had a blast. Everything was great—from the food to the Easter baskets. God continue to bless you.” Another attendee added, “Thanks for inviting us! The kids had a really good time. Everything was perfect!”
