ROCHESTER — Despite the dreary weather, smiles were in abundance at the REMC Student Board’s annual egg hunt.

Celebrations began a little before 10 a.m. Saturday, April 19, where photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny, Alex Ault, greeted families.

Maggie Garner, and Corbin Gast, had photos taken with the Easter Bunny, smiling for family behind the camera who eagerly dressed them up for the memorable moment.

“It was actually easier to put on this year since we had the experience to do it last year,” one member of the REMC Student Board, Katie Schouten, commented when our reporters asked if weather had any effect on the layout for the egg hunt.

Student Board thought quick on their feet to move the festivities inside at the Fulton County Fairgrounds, 1009 West 3rd Street, hiding eggs in trivial locations under tables, and throwing them around the rooms of each two Exhibit buildings.

Ages split the two rooms, those zero to 3-years-old were given the first chance at their egg hunt, while older age groups gathered shortly after to scramble.

REMC Student Board members chose to separate the event by start-time too, allowing families with younger children to move rooms after the first hunt and watch the second.
