An egg-cellent Easter in Sequim

Hundreds of children were on the hunt for eggs at the Sequim Elks Lodge and Sequim Pumpkin Patch on April 15. KSQM radio sponsored The Pumpkin Patch Great Easter Egg Extravaganza with volunteers hiding more than than 3,000 eggs while offering pony rides, a bounce house provided by the Crossing Church and face painting from the Sequim High School Girls’ Swim Team Booster Club as a fundraiser for a swim timing system. The Elks also offered an egg hunt for children up to 11, prizes and goodies, and a photo-op with the Easter Bunny.
