LAHARPE — Youngsters may get more than candy when they take part in LaHarpe PRIDE’s annual Easter hunt Saturday.
On top of the 2 p.m. candy hunt — which will include several special plastic eggs filled with $1 coins — drawings will be held afterward for five bicycles and several Easter baskets.
The bikes and baskets were purchased by LaHarpe Police Chief Joe Stotler, who received more than $400 in donations from Ray’s Metal Depot, Nelson Quarries, Three Generations and Anderson Plumbing.
The bikes come in varying sizes and colors, Stotler said, with the hopes the bikes will best match the use for the child who wins it.
If not, Stotler has all of the documentation needed for the bikes to be exchanged at Walmart for a better fitting one.
The $1 coins were contributed by Bank of Gas and Community National Bank.
A special appearance by the Easter Bunny also is in the works. He’ll be at the park starting at 1 o’clock for photo opportunities.
