Easter Egg Hunt Attracts Hundreds

The Oshkosh Jaycees 11th annual Oshkosh Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 3, 2010, at South Park, was a huge success. Over 700 children and their families attended the free event.

Children were able to participate in activities such as a coloring contest, face painting, a jump castle, touring a police car and fire truck, and getting pictures taken with the Easter Bunny.

Each child got to pick one egg during the hunt and return it for a prize. All children received a goodie bag stuffed with toys, candy and coupons. Nine children received special prizes – beach toys, art supplies, board games, Milwaukee Brewers tickets, EAA Airventure Museum tickets, and large stuffed animals.

Thank you to our major area sponsors, Sadoff Iron & Metal and Fox Valley Savings Bank; our small area sponsors, AIA Corporation and Oshkosh Corporation; our many in-kind sponsors; and all of our participants. Next year’s event will be held on Saturday, April 23. To learn more, call the Oshkosh Jaycees at 920-385-9231 or email eeh@oshkoshjaycees.org.

As the nice weather begins, we start to host our monthly meetings outdoors. Our May general membership meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 18th, at South Park. If you’re interested in learning more about the Oshkosh Jaycees and what we do, please join us for food and games beginning at 6:00, and our regular monthly beginning starting at 7:00. If you are new to the Oshkosh Jaycees and what we do, you do not need to RSVP – just show up, find a friendly face, and introduce yourself. We’d be happy to meet you!
