Easter weekend was awesome. Despite the rain, each special event occurred and was successful.
The River Pointe Rehabilitation Easter Egg Hunt on Friday was a huge hit with the Easter Bunny photo booth, free snow cones and popcorn, with lots of candy and prizes for the children attending. The weather was great and the parking lot was full of happy children
VFW Post 6899 had more than a hundred guests and the rain came later. The children played some of the games inside as the temperature rose outside. Free hot dogs and barbecue sandwiches were on the menu, and a fun time was had by all.
The Children’s Center, the Baptist Day Care Center in town had an Easter party for its children on Friday and created much fun and joy for their small clients during the day downtown.
On Friday, Martin Senior Center Easter Luncheon and Egg Extravaganza was held. More than 50 people attended, enjoyed the Easter luncheon of ham, turkey, broccoli cheese casserole, green beans, and sweet potatoes.
There were games, raffles, door prizes, and Easter Eggs to hunt. The best dressed woman and man were awarded $25 each. Money or gift baskets went to the coloring contest winners.
For your information, the next special luncheon will be Tuesday, May 5, better known as Cinco de Mayo Day. Watch this space for details.
Last but not least, on Easter Sunday was the Trinity Volunteer Fire Department’s Annual Fish Fry Fundraiser. No disappointments here. The fish was great, the French fries, coleslaw, pinto beans, and hush puppies were also done perfectly, and all I can say is kudos to these men of the volunteer fire department of Trinity. We are lucky to have them.
